Saba Dressing
Balsamic Vinegar Condiment
Aged 4 years
Description
Saba is produced near Modena by the Leonardi family who are personally involved in choosing the grapes for the must from which it is made.
Once selected, the Trebbiano (white grapes) and Lambrusco (black grapes) grapes are cooked in large open pots for over 30 hours. After cooling slowly, the must is aged in barrels of different wood (oak, ash, mulberry and chestnut) for several years, taking on the flavors and scents of the barrels.
Saba dates back to ancient times when the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks used it as a sweetner and to flavor many dishes. Saba, with honey, was the most commonly used sweetner of that time.
Saba seasoning gives sweet flavor to the dishes it is added to. It can be used to season meats, to dress polenta, in dips for vegetables, atop ice creams and other sweets. Can also be used as an aperitif when added to sparkling water.
Each bottle contains 8.45 fluid ounces (250 ml) of Leonardi Saba Dressing and includes recipe suggestions.

Polenta is extremely versatile, as it becomes complementary to the flavor of the dish it accompanies. The afficionados like polenta dressed only with butter and gorgonzola, crescenza, or other stracchino cheeses. Those less keen on the basic flavor of polenta prefer it as an accompaniment to rich stews of meat or fish. Polenta is excellent with stewed cuttlefish, for instance, or with jugged hare or stewed venison. Polenta can be made in advance and, when cold, baked in layered slices with meat sauce, cheeses, bechamel, etc. Sliced polenta is also broiled, grilled, or fried and served as an accompaniment to meat and game, or used as a base for bruschetta.7.
