Maletti Aged Balsamic Vinegar

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

One of the most nationally prized balsamic vinegars, with an array of food awards under it’s belt (NASF) is our year round best seller, Maletti. This balsamic vinegar is aged for 6 years in small oak barrels. It is dense with flavor, thick as molasses and turns anything it touches into magic!

So far, the Maletti has ranked in shop as the 2009 number one stocking stuffer. I want one in my stocking!

Coming in a close second is the Baci Di Dama Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies by Ciacco. These beauties are little sandwiches made from a hazelnut flour base, filled with dark chocolate. If you know this cookie, then you know that Ciacco makes the best you can find outside of Italy.

The Shop Agora highly recommends both for 2009 stocking stuffers and a good way to start 2010:
