Bruschetta with Fromage Blanc and Saba

⟵ See All Recipes

Here in wine country we learn to value every part of the vineyard harvest. Saba or “mosto cotto” is cooked grape juice. It’s not fermented, but is the first step in making balsamic vinegar. Water is cooked out of the grape juice leaving a sweet, rich, thickened syrup perfect to drizzle on our Fromage Blanc with ripe, seasonal fruit for dessert. Here’s an idea for an authentic wine country brunch appetizer… serve with sparkling wine!
