Similar to the complex world of wine, where there is red and white wine, in the world of Balsamic Vinegar there is "regular" dark balsamic and white balsamic condiment. White balsamic vinegar starts out much the same way as regular balsamic vinegar: with cooked white grape “must” (the crushed fruit, skins, seeds, and stems) for sweetness and varying amounts of wine vinegar for tartness. Where white balsamic differs, however, is in the cooking process. While the must for regular balsamic simmers slowly until it becomes dark and syrupy, white balsamic is pressure-cooked then filtered to prevent it from browning and retain its clarity. SUGGESTED USE: White balsamic vinegar has a subtler flavour than its darker counterpart, it won't turn your salad or sauce brown and is a slightly sweeter alternative to white wine vinegar. Excellent with fish and white meat and ideal for marinades, salads and crudités.

THE MAKER: Tonio Creanza and his family have been growing durum wheat, almonds and olives on the Murgian plains of Puglia, Italy for six generations. THE LAND: The Creanza family are the caretakers of 700 Olea Europea trees ranging in age from 4 to 400 years old. Using natural methods of fertilization, they rely solely on natural rain fall for irrigation. THE OLIVES: Famiglia Creanza olive oil is made exclusively from indigenous olives grown on the family orchard: ogliarola (fruity and dense), silletti (smooth) and coratina (peppery, bitter, fruity). THE OIL: The blend of these olives produces an olive oil that is vibrant green in colour, with a dense fruity palate and subtle peppery finish. The peppery finish indicates a high level of polyphenols, which are healthy, beneficial antioxidants, that act to preserve the olive oil itself. Famiglia Creanza olive oil is extra virgin and cold-pressed. SUGGESTED USE: In Italy, like much of the Mediterranean, olive oil is a basic part of the diet, used for dressing, cooking, baking, and preserving. According to Tonio, Italians do not make a distinction between finishing oils and cooking oils. Extra virgin olive oil enjoyed in its simplest form is like a seasoning or spice. It is a simple ingredient that enhances the flavour of the ingredients it’s paired with.

We love this olive oil for its robust peppery flavour. It is a D.O.P. olive oil, meaning it is made with only one olive variety from a very specific area in Sicily. This certification ensures its authenticity, certifying that it is produced from one specific olive variety grown only in that specific area. Similar to the concept of “terroir”, this olive oil will display unique characteristics that are reflective of the a specific climate of the region and therefore can not be duplicated in flavour.
