How to Use
Whisk 1 part balsamic with 3 parts extra virgin olive oil, a little Dijon mustard, and salt for a vinaigrette, or drizzle it straight over caprese salad, roasted vegetables, strawberries, or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Brush it onto chicken or pork during the last few minutes of roasting, or splash it into a hot pan after searing to make a quick sauce. To make a glaze, simmer 1 cup gently for 15 to 20 minutes until reduced by half and syrupy. Store the bottle capped in a cool, dark cupboard; refrigeration is not needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Kirkland Signature Organic Balsamic Vinegar contain allergens or sulfites?
The vinegar is made from organically grown grape must and wine vinegar and contains no milk, egg, wheat, nuts, or soy ingredients. Like most wine-based vinegars, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena can contain naturally occurring sulfites, which the label declares when required. Anyone with a sulfite sensitivity should read the printed ingredient statement on the bottle before use.
How should I use and store balsamic vinegar of Modena?
Use it raw in vinaigrettes, drizzled over salads, cheese, or fruit, or cooked as a glaze for roasted meats and vegetables. For a thicker glaze, simmer the vinegar gently until reduced by half. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove; it does not need refrigeration and keeps well after opening.
What does IGP mean on this balsamic vinegar?
IGP stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta, the European Union's Protected Geographical Indication. On balsamic vinegar it certifies that the product was made in the Modena region of Italy from grape must and wine vinegar using the traditional method. It separates genuine Balsamic Vinegar of Modena from balsamic-style vinegars produced elsewhere without the same rules.
Is this the same balsamic vinegar sold at Costco?
Yes. This is the Kirkland Signature Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena in the 33.8 fl oz (1 L) bottle, produced in Modena, Italy by Acetum and sold under Costco's private label. It carries both the USDA Organic seal and the IGP certification. Real Prime Deals stocks it so shoppers without a Costco membership can order a single bottle.
