Fruit Vinegars from Pojer & Sandri

Pojer & Sandri's single-fruit vinegars are in a class of their own. These incredible vinegars are made from the juice of fermented fruit, rather than from wine. After carefully selecting the fruit from the family's orchards or from select farmers in the area, the fruit is gently pressed and inoculated with yeast to ferment. After reaching the desired sugar content, the fermented juice is then put through the trucciolo lento method and placed in oak barrels containing some of the vinegar "mother." Depending on the fruit, the process might take anywhere from 18 to 24 months until the right balance of acidity and fruitiness is achieved.

These vinegars, bursting with the ripe, bright flavor of the fruit from which they come, make an elegant gift for everyone from the novice cook to the foodie who has everything. Packed in beautiful atomizer bottles, Pojer & Sandri Fruit Vinegars are ideal to enlighten salads, grilled vegetables and meats, as well as sliced pineapple, citrus fruit, melons and strawberries. Pojer & Sandri Fruit Vinegars are available as a gift set of three or individually, in Cherry, Black Currant and Pear flavors.

Black Currant, Cherry or Pear Flavors - $18 each

Gift set of all three flavors - $50

Antipasti from Masseria Mirogallo

Since the 1800s, one of the largest farms in Lucana Valley of Basilicata, Italy has been owned by the Mirogallo family, who specializes in the cultivation and preservation of heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables from which they hand-make very high quality pantry products. The Mirogallo brothers are quick to point out that everything they put in a jar comes from their fields, and that the only preservatives they use are vinegar and salt. Every summer, the Mirogallo farm is bustling with many farm-workers hand harvesting perfectly sun-ripe fruit and vegetables. Inside the old white washed farm building, a state-of-the-art kitchen transforms the bounty of every day into a wide array of jars of all color and sizes. All the jarred antipasti from Masseria Mirogallo are handpacked in quality extra virgin olive oil for you to simply open and enjoy.
