Net: 250ml Aged minimum 4 years Modena, Italy

A straw-yellow white balsamic condiment from Modena's renowned Mussini producers, aged a minimum of four years in oak barrels. Fruity, bittersweet, and gently acidic at just 4% — all the complexity of balsamic without the dark colour. For dressings, dips, fish, cheese, and anywhere you want brightness without staining the dish.

White balsamic is made differently from its dark counterpart. Where traditional balsamic vinegar gets its deep colour and caramel character from slowly cooking grape must over an open flame, white balsamic is produced by pressure-cooking the must to prevent browning, then ageing it in oak barrels for a shorter period. The result retains the sweet-sour complexity that defines balsamic, but in a lighter, brighter, more delicate form — straw-yellow in colour with a fruity, bittersweet flavour and a distinctive but gentle acidity. This Piazza Grande Condimento Bianco No. 4 is produced by Mussini, one of Modena's most respected balsamic producers, and aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels. The acidity is just 4%, making it noticeably softer and less sharp than standard wine vinegars.

The lighter colour is not just cosmetic — it means you can use this condiment in dishes where dark balsamic would visually overwhelm or stain the ingredients. It is the natural choice for dressings and vinaigrettes where you want balsamic sweetness without muddying the colours of a salad. Drizzle over fresh mozzarella, white fish, or shellfish. Use as a dip alongside olive oil and bread. Add to marinades for chicken or fish where you want a touch of sweet acidity. It works well with cheeses — particularly fresh, mild varieties — and with grilled meat and vegetables. A subtle, versatile condiment that enhances rather than dominates.

Producer: Piazza Grande is a range from Mussini, one of Modena's leading balsamic producers. Modena — the home of Ferrari, Maserati, and traditional DOP balsamic vinegar — has a centuries-long heritage of vinegar production. Mussini combines carefully selected raw materials with artisanal methods to produce condiments and vinegars across a range of densities and ages.

Ingredients: Cooked grape must, white wine vinegar (contains sulphites)

Storage: Ambient. Store in a cool, dry place.

Allergens: Sulphites

For vinaigrettes, whisk with extra virgin olive oil at roughly 1 part condiment to 3 parts oil. The natural sweetness and low acidity mean no added honey or sugar is needed. The pale colour keeps salads bright — particularly good with green leaves, fennel, asparagus, peach and mozzarella, or seafood salads.

For dipping, serve alongside olive oil and bread. The bittersweet character adds a dimension that plain oil and vinegar cannot.

For fish and shellfish, drizzle over grilled or pan-fried white fish, prawns, scallops, or crab. The light colour and gentle acidity complement delicate seafood without overwhelming it.

For cheese, drizzle over fresh mozzarella, burrata, or mild goat's cheese. Also works well with harder cheeses where you want sweetness without the visual weight of dark balsamic.

For meat, use in marinades for chicken or pork — combine with olive oil, garlic, and herbs. The low acidity tenderises gently. Also good drizzled over grilled chicken or pork chops as a finishing touch.

For vegetables, drizzle over grilled courgettes, peppers, asparagus, or roasted fennel. Add a splash to deglaze a pan after cooking vegetables for a quick, sweet-sharp sauce.

For fruit, a light drizzle over fresh strawberries, peaches, or melon adds a subtle bittersweet contrast.
