100% estate-grown in our Cobble Hill vineyard in the warm Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.

Venturi-Schulze Balsamic Vinegar is made from our own juice, simmered to a luscious concentration over an open fire, and converted to vinegar by the slow, natural ancient process. It is aged in over 100 barrels, from 2,500 litre custom made French oak barrels and 227 litre barriques to small series of barrels custom made for us near Modena, as dictated by tradition. Each of these series ranges from 20 to 50 litres in size in five different varieties of wood: acacia, ash, cherry, oak and chestnut, each adding its own unique character. Unlike commercially available balsamic vinegars made from a blend of wine vinegar, grape juice concentrate, caramel colouring and flavourings, Venturi-Schulze Balsamic Vinegar is a pure and natural expression of one family's commitment and passion from earth to bottle.

The characteristics of age, tradition and unrestrained dedication become obvious when one tastes our vinegar for the first time: one can actually feel age in its continuity in an indescribable combination of the times gone by sliding into the fruity tastes of the new.
