Vinegars

Our four DLM Vinegars are named after the daughters of Vera Mayne, DLM's Chairman of the Board.

Aunt Angie’s Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
After rigorous taste testing, we chose this vinegar for our private label because of its excellent balance of acidity with sweet, more complex aspects.

Aunt Charline's Apple Vinegar

From Italy, this DLM "private label" vinegar has a fragrant apple aroma. Makes a lively vinaigrette, as well as a good marinade for roast poultry. We also like to add a little to sauerkraut dishes.

Aunt Mary's Italian White Wine Vinegar
From Tuscany, this is a delicate, sweet vinegar great for making light vinaigrettes and for marinating and deglazing poultry dishes.

Aunt Vera's Italian Red Wine Vinegar
Our exclusive red wine vinegar is made from DOCG (government-controlled, highest-quality) Chianti juice. This translates into an outstanding red wine vinegar at a great price.

Banyuls Vinegar
This vinegar from southwest France is one of the most interesting we’ve ever tasted. It’s made from the naturally sweet wine of Banyuls, in the region of Languedoc Roussillon. It takes 5½ years to make a batch, aged in oak, so you can imagine how it develops such complex aromas and flavors. It shows aromas of walnut, vanilla, and spice. Think of Banyuls as a marinade for fish, or to deglaze and make a pan sauce after sautéing duck breast, monk fish, salmon, and mushrooms.

Cavalli Balsamic Condiment
Well-balanced, a bit thinner, more woodsy, and a touch sweeter than the other condiments we offer. Made with great pride by the Cavalli brothers of Reggio Emilia.

Leblanc Vinaigre à la Framboise
This raspberry vinegar from France's famous nut oil producer, Jean Leblanc, is bright and fruity, great for summer dishes.

Malpighi Extra Old Traditional Balsamic of Modena
We think this represents the best of Modena: deep, rich, yet well-balanced. You can taste the wood of the aging barrel and the intensity of fruit. It's a knockout!

Malpighi Traditional Balsamic of Modena
An excellent example of a well-made tradizionale by the respected Malpighi family. When Calvin visited Modena and met Massimo Malpighi, he left impressed with the cleanliness, class, and respect for tradition at the Malpighi family's operation.

Veleta Sherry Vinegar
Aged for six years in oak casks, the same ones used previously for storage and aging of sherry wine, this harmonious blend of flavor and fragrance will enhance any meat dish, salad, or legumes.

Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar
Get close to the flavor and density of a tradizionale for about half the price! Aged 12 years, this syrupy balsamic is sweet, complex, and dense. It really shines on plump, fresh berries.
