Michael G. from California

“I travel the world with my California Balsamic! Currently, I am in Mexico on a scuba diving yacht exploring the Soccoro Islands seeking Giant Manta Rays, Hammerhead Sharks, Humpback Whales, and many other sea creatures. But traveling with my balsamics continue to allow me to stay SOS-free. Thanks California Balsamic.”

Dr. Paul Giles from Maryland

“Amazing! This stuff is great! i received it in the mail today, and added it to my lunch time salad – wonderful flavor. and the bottles make it very easy to just add a drop at a time, which is about all you need when it brings soo much flavor! Great find. I will have to get a sample pack in the future!”

Diane Crawford from California

“I’ve been on the summit with Chef AJ and she recommended your balsamic. Today I was at the Farmer’s Market and bought the Garden Dill Mustard Seed Balsamic to make the potato salad. It was so wonderful… I just wanted to tell you that.”

Michele M. from Louisiana

“Dear Thomas, Thank you for the truly exquisite balsamic vinegars you produce! When I saw you on Chef AJ’s show, I was so skeptical (how good could they really be?), but thought since you had that lovely little sampler, I could hardly pass it up. Having spent a lot of time in Italy, I was a bit of a balsamic snob, but you sure put me in my place! They truly are fabulous. And I was so grateful that you allowed substitutions on such a small order as I was able to try the flavors that most appealed to me. I was completely delighted with the two unexpected little sample bottles as well! Thank you for a quick, easy and delicious experience with your company. I’m sure I’ll be wanting to try more and more flavors in the future.”

Dianne L. from Vermont

“Dear People at California Balsamic, I have been using your products almost daily for some time now and I want to thank you for your incredible service. The orders arrive within a couple days all the way across the country, and often with a little personalized handwritten note. This time I chose a sample of chocolate/orange balsamic. When my order arrived not only was there a handwritten note but also a few recipes!! I am so thrilled and can’t wait to try out the recipes and explore more recipe ideas on your website. Thank you again for making my day!”

Katrina T. from California

“What a great time I had tasting on my lunch hour- thank you, Thomas! I’ve just added the sample lemon to my tea and am going to put some teriyaki on my lunch veggies. I’m excited to try all of the flavors and now know where my Christmas gifts will be from. I’ll also be shouting your name from the rooftops in my plant-based FB groups. Amazing flavors- balsamics, olive oils and vinaigrettes, and super friendly proprietors. Can’t decide which balsamic is my favorite- the white peach was amazing as was the Island pineapple, but the 7-herb Italian was superb and so was the Ruby red onion. And the lemon, and the cilantro herb, and the apricot and the teriyaki…”

Diane J. from Nevada

“I love eating great big beautiful salads with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables every day, twice a day.  I find the key to enjoying these salads is to have delicious flavors to top them off. California Balsamic gives me all the choices I want. My favorites are Sweet Heat, Smoked Hickory,  Spice Traders Curry, and Garlic.  My daughter loves the 7- Herb Italian and Teriyaki, and my son loves the Ginger and Fig. I like having so many wonderful choices,  though,  so I keep my pantry full with other flavors, too. Your company provides excellent service. The delivery is quick and perfectly packed. I have never had a problem with breakage.”

Claire K. from California

“A+ Feedback: Dinner guests last night loved the Italian sampler as do we. It’s a keeper! In addition, one person who doused her garden greens with the Classic said this was the best salad ever and this was due to your balsamic for sure. I must add they are used to pouring on the dressing and didn’t quite understand my suggestion to start with a tablespoon! In the future, I think I’ll make the dressing selection and pre-dress my salads! Thank you for a quality product!”

Delite F. from Texas

“Hi! I’m so happy to watch your cooking videos with your vinegars!! I have fallen in love with both your Garden Dill and curry! I’m still trying the other flavors I ordered! Yummy! I will order more as soon as finances allow! Thank you for all your wonderful balsamics! It’s opened up a whole new healthy and tasty world for me!! much appreciated!”

Cammie E. from Idaho

“Your flavors are the best I have ever tasted! Thank you for what you do! Your products have enabled me to more fully commit to a plant-based diet and lost 40 pounds so far. Thank You for your association with Chef AJ so that I could find you. I have told so many friends about your company!”

Ann D. from Tennessee

“Got the vinegars yesterday. My husband who is a ranch dressing only person, loves the 7-Herb Italian thanks so much. Also, thanks for adding the Ginger balsamic. I can only take ginger in small quantities, but this was awesome. I put it on my air-fried sweet potato. So delicious and zingy.”

Elizabeth F. from California

"I want you to know how amazing I find your products. It was thanks to a mention by Chef AJ that I discovered you. We both love the cilantro balsamic so much. We went through a bottle in less than three weeks, which is pretty fast for a balsamic, my mother loves it so much. She told me I MUST get the biggest bottle possible this time. Thank you for making eating healthy that much easier and tastier."

Margaret Borowski from Michigan

“I watched a podcast from Chef A.J., and she sung your praises over what wonderful, flavorful vinegars you have. I ordered the Chef A.J. sample set, and you were kind enough to let me customize my order. Not only was I able to customize my order, which is my first but certainly not my last, but I received a free gift of Ruby Red Balsamic. I can’t wait to utilize these vinegars to transform my meals into something spectacular. I sent an email before when I was unable to track my order, and I received a lovely call from a gentleman named Thomas who reassured me when my order would arrive, and interestingly, was originally from Michigan, went to Birmingham Seaholm High School, and Western Michigan University. The very school my children attended. California Balsamic is a wonderful company, who really take care of their customers. It is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to being a life-long customer.I am still in awe that the owner of the company, took the time to call me, AND answer me in an email. I am trying to transition to a whole food plant-based way of eating, and not using oil is harder than I thought. I never realized that I could get flavorful vinegars other than my boring apple cider, white, or rice varieties. You have exceeded my expectations, and am so happy that I discovered your company. Lastly, GO BRONCOS!”

Beth F. from Illinois

“Your product is beyond delicious! I am a graduate of the McDougall 12-Day Program, and am currently maintaining a 70 pound weight loss. I was excited to discover your balsamic vinegars which are adding something ultra special to my simple plant based meals. I look forward to having your products as part of my maintenance journey. Game changer!“

Debbie B. from Georgia
