Leonardi Balsamic Glaze Classic – 220g

Thick. Glossy. Tangy-sweet — the “one drizzle” upgrade for everyday meals.

Every pantry deserves a balsamic you can reach for when a dish needs that final touch. Leonardi Balsamic Glaze Classic brings the rich, Modenese tang-and-sweet balance in a syrupy, drizzly glaze that instantly lifts everything from roasted vegetables to steak — and yes, it’s ridiculously good on strawberries and vanilla ice cream.

Made with typical Modenese grape must concentrated and blended with aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena I.G.P. (no added flavours), it’s thick, versatile, and built for finishing.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because it’s a fast flavour finisher. A little drizzle adds sweetness, acidity, shine and balance — the exact elements that make food taste “complete.” It’s also one of the easiest entertaining tricks going: plate looks better, flavours pop more, and you did almost nothing.

Chef Ian’s best ways to use it

• Roasted vegetables: especially pumpkin, carrots, beetroot, eggplant
• Meats & sausages: roast meats, ham, sausages — even a splash over grilled chicken
• Fish & seafood: a light drizzle over grilled fish works beautifully
• Salads: instant upgrade (especially with feta or mozzarella)
• Sandwiches & pizza: add after cooking for a glossy finish
• Fries & sides: drizzle + parmesan = danger zone
• Dessert: strawberries, figs, and vanilla ice cream (trust me)

Chef’s tip

Use it as a finishing sauce, not a cooking sauce — drizzle after plating so you keep the shine and the punchy sweet-tang hit.
