Leonardi
Family Saba Dressing
Product
Overview
Saba was known as the ultimate
condiment and sweetener and was used by the ancient Egyptians, Romans
and Greeks over 5000 years ago. The Leonardi family has been making
Saba for over a century in a small town just outside Modena, Italy.
These food artisans have
perfected the old traditional method for processing and blending the
Trebbiano (white grapes) and Lambrusco (black grapes) into a delicious
palate-pleasing condiment.
Saba
Product Details
The Leonardi family takes the
must (grapes that are softly pressed) and cook it over a low heat in
large open kettles for more than 30 hours. The must is then slowly
cooled and aged in wooden barrels made of various woods like chestnut,
oak, ash, and mulberry for several years. It is this unique process of
aging the cooked must in various barrels that gives Saba its deep
complex flavor and aroma.
In ancient times Saba was
primarily used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables, added as a
sweetener to drinks, or poured over fruit as it is today. Unfortunately
the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians did not have ice cream or
cheesecake to drizzle with Saba or they would have gone absolutely wild. BUY ME NOW!
Now you can enjoy this truly
unique dressing with all those fine desserts in addition to berries,
mixed fruit, or as a glaze on meat, added to polenta and in many other
dishes where you want to add a sweet note.
A recipe booklet is included
