Umami Italian Tomato Vinegar 250ml

About

This is a vinegar made from tomatoes rather than grapes. Umami make it by carefully acetifying the juice of fresh, ripe tomatoes – Italian tomatoes only – and the result is a condiment with distinctly fruity notes and an aftertaste of tomato confit. It has the brightness of a good wine vinegar but with that savoury, sun-ripened tomato depth running through it.

Umami is a young Piedmontese company based between the Langhe and Roero, set up by two biologists from the region. They are best known for their black garlic and black shallots, made by traditional slow ripening from Italian raw materials, and they apply the same interest in natural transformation of food to their vinegars.

Use it to dress summer salads and raw or cooked vegetables, splash it over roast, grilled or boiled meats, or finish lightly smoked grilled fish and steamed dishes. A few drops over tomatoes, burrata or a pan con tomate works very well. An unusual bottle for the cook who has everything.

Ingredients: tomato vinegar. Contains sulphites.
