It clings to food without soaking in or running off, making it ideal for decorative drizzling and finishing dishes.
How do you use Ponti Balsamic Glaze in cooking?

Is Ponti Balsamic Glaze PGI certified?
Yes. Ponti uses certified Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) as the core ingredient, guaranteeing that the vinegar base is authentically produced in the Modena region of Italy according to strict quality standards.
Is Ponti Balsamic Glaze gluten-free and vegan?
Yes. Ponti Balsamic Glaze contains no wheat-based ingredients or animal derivatives, making it naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Does Ponti Balsamic Glaze need to be refrigerated after opening?
Refrigeration is not strictly required because the high natural sugar content and vinegar acidity act as natural preservatives. However, storing the bottle in a cool, dark pantry or keeping it in the refrigerator after opening will preserve its thick, glossy consistency and optimal flavor for months.
