Balsamic Condiment Honey – Quality 12 100ml

Casanova Balsamic Condiment Honey – Qualità 12 (100ml) is a flavoured, mid-aged balsamic from Modena, combining traditional barrel ageing with the natural richness of honey.

It is crafted from cooked grape must and wine vinegar, then matured through 12 barrel transfers (travasi), a process that gradually concentrates flavour while maintaining balance. The addition of natural honey enhances the balsamic’s sweetness and rounds out its acidity, creating a smooth, harmonious profile.

Flavour profile

• Taste: Sweet, mellow, and well-balanced with gentle acidity
• Texture: Smooth, lightly syrupy
• Aroma: Warm, fruity with subtle honeyed notes
• Finish: Soft, rounded, and slightly lingering

Compared to standard Quality 12 balsamic, this version is softer and more dessert-leaning, thanks to the honey infusion.

Craftsmanship & ageing

• Aged using the traditional travasi system across wooden barrels
• 12 transfers provide moderate depth and complexity
• Honey acts as a natural enhancer, integrating sweetness rather than overpowering
• Falls into the mid-tier range, offering both structure and approachability

Culinary uses

This is a highly versatile flavoured balsamic, suitable for both savoury and sweet dishes:

• Cheese: especially soft cheeses like goat or brie
• Meats: poultry, pork, and glazed dishes
• Vegetables: roasted or grilled vegetables
• Salads: adds natural sweetness to vinaigrettes
• Desserts: pancakes, cheesecake, ice cream, yoghurt
• Fruit: berries, figs, and citrus
• Drinks: cocktails, smoothies, or as a natural sweetener

It’s particularly effective where you want a gentler, more rounded balsamic profile without sharp acidity.

Casanova position in the range

• In short
