Frequently Asked Questions
What is balsamic glaze?
Balsamic glaze is a thick sauce made by simmering balsamic vinegar. The vinegar reduces and creates a tangy and sweet flavour.
Are black olives and kalamata olives the same?
No, black olives and kalamata olives are not the same. Although kalamata are a type of black olive, they are different. Kalamata olives are ripened naturally on the tree and have a very intense flavour. Regular black olives are much milder and they do not ripen on the tree.
