Most Asked Questions

READ ALL FAQ
Should I store my olive oil in the refrigerator so that it lasts longer?

This is not at all necessary. A dark place without moisture is the optimal location to store your oil. Keep your extra bottles of Mt. Kofinas olive oil in a cool, dark place like a pantry closet. Sunlight and moisture are two things that can harm your olive oil. However, olive oil can be used as a natural preservative. By its nature, olive oil is fairly stable and certainly is delicious for many years.
 I forgot my olive oil in my freezing car overnight and now the olive oil is cloudy white. Did my olive oil spoil?

No, it just turned to a solid. After being in room temperature for a while it will return to it’s original state. Trust us, it will still taste great.
There’s pulp at the bottom of my olive oil, does this mean that it went bad?

No, our olive oil is natural and unfiltered so with time the fruit particles may settle. Mix the oil by tipping the bottle before using so it is evenly dispersed.
Can I cook with the olive oil?

Yes, people have been cooking with olive oil for thousands of years. As part of the Mediterranean diet this is the main ingredient and cooking method of most dishes. It also gives a great taste to the food and helps infuse flavors.
Can I fry with olive oil?

Yes, it is actually a great oil to use because it stands up well since the smoking temperature (380˚F – 400˚F) is above the ideal frying temperature (350˚F-365˚F). The reason olive oil is not commonly used in frying is based on cost. Out of the available oils, olive oil is among the most expensive, but also the most delicious.
If I fry with olive oil, will the olive oil change from a “good fat” to a “bad fat” ?

Extra virgin olive oil is a great source of poly-unsaturated fats. Simply frying with olive oil will not change the chemical composition. Your extra virgin olive oil will NOT change into a saturated fat, or a trans fat.

Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar

Learn More

Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar is a crisp, light golden vinegar that blends aged white balsamic from Modena, Italy, with sparkling French Champagne vinegar in one bottle. It has a clean, sweet-tart flavor that works on everything from salads and fruit to seafood, chicken, and roasted vegetables. Pour it generously, splash it freely, and find your favorite way to use it in everyday meals.

How to Use Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar

This vinegar shines as a finishing splash, a base for dressings, and a glaze for both savory and sweet plates. Pour generously and adjust to taste.

  • Salad dressings and vinaigrettes: Whisk it with extra virgin olive oil, a little Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for a fast, fresh emulsion.
  • Fresh fruit and fruit salad: Drizzle over strawberries, peaches, or melon for a sweet-tart pop.
  • Glazes and pan sauces: Reduce in a pan and brush over chicken, fish, pork, or roasted vegetables.
  • Marinades: Combine with herbs, garlic, lemon, and olive oil for seafood, chicken, or veggies.
  • Cocktails and shrubs: Add a small splash to sparkling water, citrus, and herbs for a refreshing drink.
  • Desserts: Spoon a small amount over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, or grilled fruit.

A good starting ratio for vinaigrettes is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts olive oil. Adjust from there based on how sharp or mellow you want the dressing to taste.

Olive Oils to Pair With It

The right olive oil makes this vinegar even better. Three of our flavorful infused olive oils are tested favorites with Champagne White Balsamic:

  • Lemon Zest Infused: Best for seafood, chicken, roasted potatoes, salads, and grilled vegetables.
  • Wild Orange Infused: Our family loves this combo as a delicious salad dressing. The warm orange and clean acidity balance each other.
  • Butter Infused: Great for sautéed meats, mashed potatoes, popcorn, and roasted vegetables.

Each pairing brings out a different side of the vinegar, so trying a few is the easiest way to find your favorite food combinations.

Storage and Shelf Life

Balsamic vinegar is naturally stable and stays flavorful for a long time, so storage is simple. Keep the bottle or jar in a cool, dark pantry, away from direct sun and heat. It does not need to be refrigerated.

  • Unopened: Lasts for years in a cool, dark pantry.
  • Opened: Stays at peak flavor for 3 to 5 years.

A pantry shelf or kitchen cabinet works perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar?
It's a blend of two vinegars in one bottle. White balsamic from Modena, Italy gives it a smooth, slightly sweet body, and French champagne vinegar adds a clean, crisp finish. Made from white Trebbiano grapes from the champagne region of France and Italy, it's lighter and brighter than dark balsamic, with a softer acidity than most Greek extra virgin olive oil pantry vinegars on the shelf.

Does champagne white balsamic vinegar contain alcohol?
No. Even though it's made from grapes and wine, the fermentation process turns alcohol into acetic acid, which is what gives vinegar its tang. A small layer called the vinegar mother forms during fermentation and helps create the finished product, which is non-alcoholic and safe for any meal.

What's the difference between champagne white balsamic and regular vinegar?
Regular wine vinegar like white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, or any other vinegar at the store is sharper and more one-note. Champagne white balsamic is aged, smoother, and has a sweet-tart balance you don't get from a basic bottle at most grocery stores. It works as a substitute, but you'll taste the upgrade right away.

How is champagne white balsamic different from dark balsamic vinegar?
Dark balsamic is thicker, sweeter, and deeper in flavor, good for caprese, bruschetta, and finishing red meats. Champagne white balsamic is lighter, crisper, and golden in color, so it works on salads, fruit, seafood, and any dish where you want bright flavor without darkening the look. Both have a place in our Greek and Italian balsamic vinegars lineup, depending on the meal.

What's the best olive oil to pair with champagne white balsamic vinegar?
Lemon Zest, Wild Orange, and Butter Infused are the top three pairings, and each makes an excellent product to keep on hand for everyday recipes. For an even smoother dressing, our certified organic olive oil is a golden liquid that works beautifully with the vinegar's bright acidity.

Can I use champagne white balsamic vinegar in cocktails?
Yes. A small splash adds bright acidity to cocktails, shrubs, and mocktails. It pairs especially well with sparkling water, citrus, and herbs for a refreshing drink.
