Bellei Bell Mela Apple Cider Vinegar is a fruity Italian apple condiment made by combining natural apple juice with apple vinegar. Inspired by Bellei's approach to balsamic vinegar, Bell Mela has more body and fruit character than a basic apple cider vinegar and is aged in barrique to develop its aroma.
What Is Bell Mela?
Bell Mela applies a balsamic-inspired idea to apples. Where Balsamic Vinegar of Modena combines grape must and wine vinegar, Bell Mela brings together apple juice and apple vinegar. The apple juice contributes natural fruitiness and a fuller consistency, while the vinegar provides the acidity needed to balance the sweetness.
How to Use Bell Mela
Its bright apple character makes Bell Mela a natural choice for vinaigrettes and salads, especially those with apples, pears, walnuts or cheese. It can also be used with roasted vegetables, pork, poultry, marinades and other dishes that work well with a sweet-and-sour apple note.
