Wlife Roland Foods Balsamic Glaze, 27 Ounce

FANTASTIC STUFF. I'm 67 years young and this is my first experience with any kind of Balsamic product. Now I know this isn't a true aged Balsamic but to me it is one of the nicest things I have ever placed in my mouth. The primary reason I purchased this was for dietary reasons. I was told to cut back on my salt intake after a heart issue. Anyone on a low sodium diet knows there is very little on the market that doesn't have huge amounts of extra salt added. Yes Yes I know salt adds flavor to everything. Salt however was used to preserve food not to change the taste. After research I found that things like fresh vegetables were going to have to be on my diet. I like veggies, I really do but with lots of butter and of course salt. I have been told that salt can't be used, just not as much as I had been taking in daily. Someone told me that roasted vegetables were better for me and tasted great. Okay so I roasted some potatoes, carrots, onions in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The flavor was pretty good but bland. I wanter my salted butter back. I began researching recipes for sauces to put over those roasted veggies to make them just a bit more flavorful and that's when I found it. Balsamic vinegar based sauces. Mix with olive oil, a little garlic , some french mustard and this vinegar and voila a great sauce to cover those veggies. Now I'm going to experiment further. I'm sure I can find other uses for this stuff. Roland has a web sight that has a slew of recipes. Excellent purchase. Only problem is I should had tried this vinegar earlier in my life. I purchased this product from Amazon without a discounted, free or any payment for the review. I only hope this helps others out in Amazon World

I normally do not “review” anything, because I’m not qualified food professional. I’m just a woman who’s been cooking for most of my 70 years on this earthly plain. I’m pretty impressed with anything from Roland Foods in the last couple years. I tried this balsamic glaze (some in these comments equate a reduction to a glaze or a marinade), I used it in a bruschetta, as a marinade and a glaze. I sent my daughter in New Mexico a bottle for her to try. She was also pretty impressed. No, it’s not a reduction (even though it’s thick like reduction) it’s so flavorful and works well to tenderize meats also. A couple years ago I needed a reduction and I was out so I used my $110 bottle of balsamic vinegar and reduced it. It was absolutely wonderful. I will never make that costly decision again though. If you want excellent flavor, try this balsamic glaze, especially on chicken or a pork tenderloin. Everything I’ve tried from Roland Foods has been a big thumbs up. I’m impressed, Roland Foods.

Excellent value! A+

Difficult to find the size and product at many of my local grocery stores, so I get it here. Always delicious! Bottle has never come broken which is a plus.

Outstanding on sandwiches. Drizzle it on veggie pizzas. Works as a final touch on a salad. For bruschetta with garlic, basil and Roma tomatoes it is solid. Finishes roasted veggies perfectly. Best part is that a little less is more with this glaze and the 27 ounce size will go a long way. The real drawback is the sugar content. That;s why it loses a star. If they could make this with half the sugar it would be perfect.
