The Gravenstein Apple is an incredibly hard to find varietal due to the difficulty farmers have cultivating it. In addition to contending with a very finicky tree, it's also not an apple that travels or stores well so it is best enjoyed during its relatively short season and isn't typically shipped far. It's grown in pockets up the coast of Northern California and prized for its amazing ambrosia aroma and crisp, sweet-tart cream colored flesh.
This balsamic marries the complexity of the Gravenstein's larger than life flavor with our well balanced Ultra Premium white balsamic vinegar from Italy for a delectable culinary symphony. It can be used on a simple summer salad and is amazing when combined with spice. Think green chili, habañero or jalapeno. Throw it on top of chili, bake it in an apple or peach crisp or drizzle it over meat or portobello skewers.
