Sciabica's Mission Fig Balsamic Vinegar

Real Mission figs folded into California balsamic and aged in oak.

Mission figs are the dark, jammy California fig, and the Sciabica family works fresh-picked ones into their California balsamic before it goes into oak barrels. The result is rounder and less sharp than a straight balsamic, with the fig doing a lot of the sweetening. No artificial flavor, no added sugar beyond the fruit. Fig-balsamic and olive oil together is one of the oldest and best bread-dipping combinations there is.

Who this is for

• Bread dipping, paired with any Sciabica olive oil
• Savory-sweet dressings for spinach, arugula or kale salads
• Reduced over steak or pork chops in the pan
• Prosciutto, aged cheese, roasted squash
• A gift for the cook who has everything except this
