*For recipes using balsamic vinegar, create your own! Cooked wine syrup (mosto cotto) is a key ingredient found in condiment-grade balsamic vinegar. Ingredients needed:
Vino Cotto di Montillo and distilled vinegar, that's it! Or, if you want the balsamic sweet flavor without the acidity, replace balsamic vinegar with straight Vino Cotto.

Baking
Use Vino Cotto instead of honey or golden syrup when baking biscuits, cookies or cakes.
With Desserts
Drizzle Vino Cotto over your favorite ice cream or cakes. For a
thicker, smooth-textured Vino Cotto syrup topping, follow the recipe above.
Balsamic Vinegar
Easily create your own balsamic vinegar by adding Vino Cotto to distilled vinegar. Adjust each to taste. For a sweeter-tasting balsamic vinegar, simply add more Vino Cotto. Whisk before serving.
Balsamic Salad Dressing and Vinaigrette
1/2 cup Vino Cotto di Montillo
1/4 tsp Kosher salt (optional)
1/4 cup classic olive oil
1/4 cup distilled vinegar
Mix ingredients well to emulsify the dressing, then drizzle over salads, vegetables, and more; or use it as a marinade. Add more Vino Cotto to the mixture if you prefer a sweeter, smoother flavor.
Or, try adding Vino Cotto to your favorite store-bought Italian vinaigrette to quickly enhance its flavor and prepare a taste that's just right for you.
Roasting Vegetables
Season vegetables such as onions, carrots, fennel, and green beans
with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Whisk Vino Cotto with an
equal amount of extra virgin olive oil and toss through vegetables
before roasting in a tightly-covered roasting dish, or aluminum pan
covered with aluminum foil. Toss vegetables occasionally until done.
Sauces for Meat, Poultry and Seafood
Make a delicious sauce for sautéed beef, poultry and seafood, such as salmon and shrimp, by deglazing the skillet with Vino Cotto. For roasted poultry, baste with Vino Cotto near the end of cooking time, then add a little Vino Cotto to the pan juices to make a rich, tasty sauce.
