Just a splash of Mazzetti is enough to turn your everyday dish into a masterpiece.

From Yellow Label to Black Label, read on to discover which balsamic vinegar tastes best with which dish...

Yellow Label

If you’re after a balsamic vinegar that has a refreshingly light and zesty flavour, look no further than Mazzetti Yellow Label. When it comes to salad dressings, it really doesn’t get much better.

In need of a little inspiration? This balsamic chicken, garlic and squash traybake makes for the perfect midweek family meal. Not only does it require minimal preparation and just 45 minutes oven time, but the balsamic vinegar adds an intense depth of flavour that’s usually only achieved by hours of slow cooking.

Gold Label

Aged for three years in oak barriques, Mazzetti Gold Label is medium bodied with a delicious hint of sweetness. It’s perfect for pairing with grilled meats and fish, and it’s just as easy to devour when added to extra virgin olive oil to dip your favourite bread in.

To show just how far this irresistible balsamic vinegar can go, Mazzetti has created a mouth-watering recipe for balsamic caramelised onion soup that can be enjoyed at any time of day.

Black Label

This full-bodied balsamic is lush and intense with a wonderful sweetness – it really is the height of balsamic luxury. Also aged for three years in oak barriques, its rich, thick consistency makes it perfect for finishing dishes like grilled steak, or for pairing with gourmet cheese or desserts.
