I love this balsamic vinegar and always have in the house. I often use it on salad and don’t need oil! It’s slightly sweet and mixes great with dressings

Amazing! I can not live without nuvo olive oil vinegars, and tbh, I love and need them all, minus the garlic one because I cant have garlic. Perfect, fresh, no sugar added, chocolate tastes amazing on fish! Will just copy my reviews because all vinegars are amazing, get them!

Usually, Nuvo asks me to review something that I haven't started using yet, but I have purchased this before and love the flavor. I use it on my salads with spring mix, roasted pecans, crumbled blue cheese, Bermuda onion and sliced strawberries.

We owe our addiction of Nuvo Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars to Victor Ruiz at the South Pasadena Farmers Market.

He is the best!
