Introduction: Pear Infused Balsamic Vinegar from Sonoma Farm delivers the soft, delicate sweetness of ripe pears in a base of rich, barrel-aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy.

What Is Pear Infused Balsamic Vinegar?

Created by infusing barrel-aged balsamic vinegar with ripe pears — no artificial additives, flavorings, or high fructose corn syrup. The result is a smooth, velvety vinegar with the soft, honeyed character of fresh pears layered over the deep, complex sweetness of aged balsamic. It adds refined fruit flavor and natural sweetness, making it a distinctive finishing vinegar, dressing base, and glaze.

Health Benefits

Pears contribute fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidant compounds. Together, this blend delivers elegant fruit flavor that is naturally fat-free with no high fructose corn syrup.

Cooking Tips

Use as a Finisher

Pear balsamic’s delicate notes are most vibrant when added at the end of cooking or used cold. Use it as a final drizzle over finished dishes, in dressings, or over desserts and cheese boards.

Reduce for a Glaze

Simmer gently over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon for a rich, syrupy glaze — no added sugar needed. Watch closely, as the natural sugars can scorch quickly.

Decanting Tip

Pour from the 1 gallon container into smaller glass bottles or kitchen dispensers for easy daily use. Keep the main container sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to preserve delicate fruit character.

Storage Tips

Store in a dark, cool place. Always close tightly after use. Balsamic vinegar keeps well long-term when properly sealed.
