Indulge in the rich, syrupy decadence of La Truffe Royale Bourbon Balsamic Glaze. While traditional vinegar is fluid and sharp, this glaze is slowly reduced to create a thick, pourable velvet that clings to food and delivers concentrated flavor. Infused with the essence of bourbon, it brings a smoky, sweet complexity that turns ordinary presentation into restaurant-quality plating. The reduction process intensifies the natural sugars of the grapes, balancing the acidity with a molasses-like sweetness that is perfectly complemented by the oaky vanilla notes of the bourbon. This is a versatile tool for the creative cook, offering the ability to add artistic flair and a burst of flavor to appetizers, main courses, and even desserts. It is the secret weapon for adding that final, professional touch to your culinary creations.
Flavor Profile
This glaze is significantly sweeter and thicker than vinegar. It boasts a deep, complex profile featuring dark fruit (fig, plum), molasses, and charred wood. The bourbon infusion adds a layer of warmth and spice that cuts through the sugar, preventing it from being cloying and adding a sophisticated edge to the finish.
Best Uses
Perfect for drizzling over a charcuterie board, specifically on sharp cheddars or creamy bries. It is magnificent brushed onto BBQ ribs or burgers in the final moments of grilling. Surprisingly, it is also a stunning dessert topping—try a zig-zag drizzle over vanilla bean ice cream or cheesecake for a sweet-savory contrast.
How To Use
Use the squeeze bottle to create precise lines or dots on the plate for decoration. Because it is already reduced, do not cook it further; simply apply it to the finished dish. It is thick enough to hold its shape on the plate without running.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. While not strictly required, refrigeration after opening is recommended to maintain the thick, syrupy consistency and prevent the sugars from crystallizing over long periods.
