| | Description | Fondo Carrate is the name of one of the farms of the Elsa Estate. This balsamic is obtained through the traditional method of slowly fermenting cooked grape must from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The vinegar is then aging and refinement is derived from the process of aging in small casks of selected woods. A well balanced condiment with a taste of sweet and sour. Aromatic with a rich velvety brown color. Use in salads, dipping or with grilled meats or vegetables. | |

 Great balsamic for the price Dec 30, 2008
By kalyson
There are different levels of balsamic vinegar. The "tradizionale" is consortium-approved and is generally over $100 for a four to five ounces and could be over $500 for a tiny amount. The next level is the "condimento balsamico" which is not consortium approved, but is about half the price or less than the previous type. The last level is "Aceto Balsamico di Modena", which can be really bad and there are no controls over what goes into it (artificial coloring, etc.).
That being said, Fondo Carrate vinegar is producted from grapes grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides of any kind. Organically grown and produced exclusively from ancient D.O.C. Lambrusco varieties of the Mastri, Salamino and Sorbara grapes. It is 12 years old and aged in oak. Very smooth, sweet, but tangy. It really is a fine vinegar, especially for the price. You can get it for a bit less than $32 from other distributors, but I'm not sure how the shipping compares. Check around -- it's definitely worth finding a supplier for this stuff.

The Search is Over May 22, 2011
By DJC
I found this vinegar over 10 years ago and was immediately addicted. Smooth, well-rounded with no bitter taste. I use to be able to purchase it in the local stores but now I can only get it through the internet. I have tried more expensive vinegars and less expensive vinegars and always come back to this. I have always been at a loss to understand why it is not more popular.

Delicious Oct 26, 2010
By J. Stout
"Quilter"
I have been using this balsamic vinegar for quite a few years. Nothing else compares to this vinegar that you can buy at the grocery stores. Worth the price.
 No substitute for villa manodori May 06, 2012
By Dwight Mcneill
"Andy Amazon"
I bought this to save a little money compared to Villa Manodori which is a spectacular balsamic but expensive. The Elsa was runny and bitter and tastes not much better than very inexpensive store bought balsamic. With the Manodori you only need a few drops. It is wonderfully sweet and aromatic...nothing else like it.
