Stockmann Delicatess
Olive oils and balsamic vinegar
With fine olive oil and balsamic vinegar, you can instantly make salads juicier and add a refined flavour to dishes. Stockmann Delicatess brand includes Italian olive oil made from cultivated olive oil and virgin olive oil, Italian cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, Spanish extra virgin olive oil, and two different grades of Italian Modena balsamic vinegar.
It's a good idea to choose olive oil based on the intended use. Olive oil made from cultivated olive oil and virgin olive oil is well suited to everyday cooking or for salads. High-quality extra virgin olive oil is made directly from olives and using only mechanical means, which ensures the oil has a refined aroma. The Italian cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and Spanish extra virgin olive oil of Stockmann Delicatess brand are especially recommended for salads or for adding a refined aroma to vegetables or grilled fish, for example.
Like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, aceto balsamico, also comes in several different vintages and grades. Balsamic vinegar is graded by the number of leaves. Four-leaf balsamic vinegar is very rich and refined and is made from only the finest grapes.
Stockmann Delicatess brand includes two-leaf and four-leaf balsamic vinegars. Mild-tasting two-leaf balsamic vinegar is intended to add flavour to food and is recommended especially for marinades, barbeque sauces and steamed vegetables. Rich and refined four-leaf balsamic vinegar is suitable for many uses, including in demanding recipes or sprinkled on top of salads, Parmesan cheese, desserts or as a dressing for ice cream or fresh strawberries.
