Acetaia Cattani White Balsamic Vinegar (500ml)

I’ve been using Acetaia Cattani’s Balsamic Vinegar for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become a staple in my kitchen. The flavor is beautifully balanced — sweet, tangy, and smooth — making it perfect for everything from salads and marinades to roasted vegetables and even a drizzle over ice cream. What really sets it apart is the aging process in olivewood barrels, which gives it a subtle depth without being too heavy or syrupy. The consistency is spot-on — not too thick, not too runny — so it pours cleanly and blends easily into whatever I’m making. It is on the pricier side, which gives me a little pause, but the quality really shines through. If you’re looking for a noticeable upgrade from basic store brands, this one delivers in both taste and versatility.

The very best white balsamic vinegar - I use this for many things!

Best balsamic ever. Naturally sweet and needs nothing but good quality olive oil to dress a salad. I won't buy any other brand.

Received my Cattani white Balsamic vinegar today and after a taste test, it far exceeded my expectations. Just the right acidity, perfect balance of sweet and sour. Not too heavy or too light. Looking forward to my next salad!

This is a nice tasting, tangy and sweet vinegar. It is not thin like a typical white wine vinegar, but has a little thicker viscosity and a beautiful golden color. It will make a lovely drizzle over greens with a good quality olive oil. I did a side by side taste comparison of Cattani with Giuseppe Giusti - Condimento Alimentare, Italian White Wine Vinegar Condiment from Modena. The Cattani is more vinegary and less sweet than the Giusti. It produces a vinegar cough at the back of the throat if tasted alone. In contrast, the Guisti is lighter in color and thinner in viscosity than Cattani. However, it is less vinegary, slightly sweeter and has a mellower, more complex flavor than the Cattani. No vinegar cough if tasted alone. Which product you choose depends how you plan to use them. Cattani would make a more assertive vinaigrette and I'd mainly use it for salads. When I use the Giusti for a vinaigrette, I sometimes will add a squeeze of lime or lemon to brighten it. However, for a finishing drizzle on fish, grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, or in a sauce, I would definitely choose the Giusti. It won't overpower with a vinegar taste, but will gently sweeten whatever you are adding it to. The Giusti comes in in 250 ml bottle -- for about the same price as 500ml of the Cattani. I plan to stock both products in my pantry. (Revisiting my review adding another star. Since 2019, I have bought five bottles of Cattani and just ordered a sixth.)

I had purchased a small bottle a year or so back but I had to buy it again because it’s absolutely amazing especially if you make an eggplant Milanese! Product is well worth it. I put it on salads because I don’t like premade salad dressing and the regular balsamic is too strong for my tongue. This is perfect not too sweet perfection perfection.

This is the first white balsamic I've ever had and it did not disappoint. It has delicious flavor and makes eating any salad so fun. Packaging was done well. It held up during shipping too, no issues. It is on the pricier side but totally worth it because you don't need very much of it.

This is so good that it goes on my salad by itself. There is no need for other dressing ingredients.
