Olive Oils & Vinegars

• Amarena Cherry Balsamic Vinegar
  The Amarena cherry is a small bitter (amara, in Italian) dark colored Italian cherry grown in Bologna and Modena.

The end result is a flavor explosion of cherry and grape must that is at once sour and bitter. Pair this vinegar with Persian Lime, Chipotle, or Blood Orange olive oil for a deliciously well-balanced vinaigrette or to cook leafy greens. Drizzle over Greek yogurt for a decadent and healthy treat.
