Some of the most incredible, pure, flavorful vinegar you’ll ever taste, here at The Shop Agora! A few weekends ago we were fortunate enough to have a member of the Reiterer family visit the store.
As provided by Ritrovo:
Acetoria vinegars are the result of an extraordinary collaboration between esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. All Acetoria vinegars are made from fine wine. Reiterer judiciously selects the best basic ingredients then produces a wine with exceptional flavor, body, and acid balance. Then Bauer transforms these wines into vinegars, each aged in such a way as to extol the charac-teristics of its particular type. The result of this collaboration is the creation of intensely flavored, harmoniously balanced vinegars that bring flavor and freshness to anything from salad dressings to meat dishes to desserts.
You would never guess that this would be a hit recipe!
Black Current Vinegar Over Vanilla Ice Cream
Drizzle Acetoria Black Current Vinegar over some nice vanilla ice cream!
The acidity of the vinegar is absorbed by the sweetness of the ice cream for a perfect and very complimentary dish. This will be a unsuspecting hit that you can show off with in no time at your next dinner party!
Try it!

Luscious flavor from pure fig wine, with no infusions or additives, embodies Acetorium’s Fig Vinegar. Try it for marinating seafood or as a salad seasoning.
Acetorium vinegars are hand-crafted by esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. Instead of using flavor infusions they judiciously select the basic ingredients for each vinegar and then vinify them before beginning the vinegarization process. In other words, all Acetorium vinegars are made from fine wines. The vinegars are precision-aged in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels. Imported from Italy. 250 ml. bottle.

We are excited to present a 30% off special for the much praised Tenuta Cocevola Olive Oil. You will be able to purchase this on our website for the outstanding price of $21.30 for the next week!
From Southern Puglia comes this small production DOP product. Their winery is set overlooking the Adriatic sea close to the enchanted and historical Castel del Monte.

In this recipe, the breadsticks pieces absorb the liquid to add texture and contrast to the frittata. It’s a great way to use broken breadsticks and compliment our Casina Rossa truffle salt.
Ingredients
1 cup Tenuta Castello breadsticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup cooked greens
½ cup cubed boiled potatoes
2 tablespoons Tenuta Cocevola extra virgin olive oil
Casina Rossa Truffle Salt, to taste
Directions
In a bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream until slightly foamy; beat in truffle salt. Place oil in a heavy sauté pan and allow to coat pan and heat well. Add greens and boiled potatoes and sauté briefly. Pour eggs over the greens and potatoes and cook until almost set.
Place the sauté pan under a broiler and cook until set.
Carefully remove frittata from the oven, taking care not to touch hot surfaces. Allow to rest slightly, finish with truffle salt, and serve hot.
