What You Should Know

You'd find this bottle tucked on the vinegar and condiments shelf or pulled out during brunch to drizzle over salads, roasted veggies, or a Caprese. It gives an indulgent, slightly gourmet vibe — organic and glossy like a chef's finishing touch — and the syrupy texture comes from reduced grape must and a stabilizer. The short ingredient list points to a processed culinary product (concentrated must plus xanthan gum for texture) rather than a highly industrial ultra-processed formulation.
