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.

What Is Raspberry Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar?

Raspberry balsamic vinegar starts as traditional aged balsamic from Modena, Italy. The base is built from wine vinegar and grape must, then aged in wood barrels to develop its rich body and depth.

It is infused that aged balsamic with the natural flavor of ripe raspberries. No artificial flavors, no artificial ingredients. The result is a fruity, full-bodied balsamic with all the character of traditional balsamic and a clean berry finish.

Flavor Profile and Texture

This raspberry balsamic pours thick and clings to a spoon. The texture is smooth, and the color is a deep ruby-dark.

On the palate, you'll get sweet and tart raspberry up front, followed by the rich, tangy depth of aged balsamic. The fruity flavor stays bright without turning sugary, and the sweetness feels natural rather than added. Try a small drop on your tongue and your taste buds will catch every layer.

If you enjoy this style, you'll probably also like our flavored infused olive oils for cooking with the same kind of bold, natural character.

  • Glaze meats and vegetables: Brush onto roasted vegetables, grilled veggies, pork, or chicken near the end of cooking.
  • Build a marinade: Combine with olive oil, herbs, and a little garlic for a sweet-savory marinade.
  • Reduce into a balsamic glaze: Simmer gently on the stove until thick and syrupy, then drizzle on almost any dish.

These uses are also part of why this bottle sits among our best-selling pairing products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does raspberry balsamic vinegar need to be refrigerated?
No. Balsamic vinegar is naturally stable thanks to its acidity. A cool, dark pantry is better than the fridge, since cold temperatures can dull the flavor and thicken the texture.

What does raspberry balsamic vinegar pair best with?
It pairs well with smoky chipotle-infused olive oil for glazes and marinades on pork or chicken. It also works with basil-infused olive oil for salads with fresh berries and goat cheese. For desserts, drizzle straight over vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit.

How do I make a raspberry balsamic glaze?
Pour the vinegar into a small bowl or saucepan and simmer over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it reduces by about half and turns thick and syrupy, about ten minutes of prep time. No brown sugar or extra sugar is needed for this recipe, since Kofinas Raspberry Balsamic is already sweet on its own.

Can I use raspberry balsamic vinegar on desserts?
Yes. Its sweet and tart, fruity flavor makes it a natural fit for vanilla ice cream, fresh fruit, dark chocolate, panna cotta, and cheesecake. A small drizzle is all you need to finish a plate.

Is Kofinas Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar gluten-free and vegan?
Yes. It is naturally gluten-free and vegan, with no artificial flavors and no artificial ingredients. The flavor comes from aged balsamic and natural raspberry, nothing else.
