Gourmet oils and Balsamic Vinegar

We found Bistro Blends at Claremont's Annual Village Venture last year, and now that we're reaching the bottom of our bottles and I've been reminded that I should share.  Best balsamic ever.  The heirloom balsamic and fig are our favorites - the former makes out of this world brussel sprouts (now there's a recipe I should past) and the latter is the perfect salad dressing (a little oil, some fig balsamic, a sprinkle of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, and some fresh greens - a go to salad staple at our house).  Both have a syrupy texture without being too sweet (try them on vanilla bean ice cream for a real treat).  We also have the blackberry balsamic; it's more like a store-bought balsamic in it's runny consistency, and while it is great on it's own, the fig is soooo good that we often end up passing the poor little guy over.

I also recommend their truffle oil as it has a better flavor than any other oil I've found at our local Claremont store - it's great with gnocchi.  The one product we were initially disappointed with was the bread dip - it was terrible - but then we tried it out as a marinade and it makes some of the best grilled chicken we've had.  In any case, they're certainly more expensive than most grocery store comparables, but their taste is well worth it - we're certainly not looking back.
