Apulian vincotto, cooked grape must: Versatile, tasty, and healthy

Apulian vincotto or cooked grape must is a versatile condiment that can be used in many different ways in the kitchen.

Here are some of the main uses of Apulian cooked grape syrup:

Cheese dressing: Apulian vincotto pairs beautifully with cheeses, both fresh and aged. You can serve cheeses like pecorino, ricotta, or gorgonzola accompanied by a generous drizzle of grape syrup to create a sweet and sour contrast that enhances the flavors.

Desserts: Apulian vincotto is an excellent ingredient for making desserts. One of the most famous vincotto desserts in Puglia is "cartellate," a typical Puglian Christmas sweet. It's great to use as a topping for ice cream, panna cotta, or custard. It's also perfect for enriching cakes, tarts, cookies, and spoon desserts.

Meat dressing: Apulian vincotto can be used as a glaze for roasted or grilled meat. Brush it on the meat during cooking to give it a sweet and sour flavor note.

Salads: Add a few tablespoons of vincotto to your salads to enrich their flavor. Its sweet and sour taste pairs well with mixed salads, goat cheese salads, or fruit salads.

Marinades: You can use the vincotto as an ingredient for marinating meat or vegetables. Its dense texture and sweet and sour flavor will give a special touch to the marinade, imparting a unique flavor to your dishes.

Crostini dressing: Spread some vincotto on toasted bread crostini to create a delicious and original appetizer. You can top it with cheese, ham, nuts, or herbs for an extra touch of flavor.

In addition to being a condiment with an original taste, the cooked grape must  is also rich in beneficial substances for health. Apulian vincottos are sweet-sour food dressings obtained from the slow cooking of grape must cooked down to the consistency of a syrup (non-alcoholic), characterized by a significant concentration of polyphenols with beneficial effects.

Epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of foods rich in polyphenols may contribute to reducing the incidence of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. So, in addition to delighting the palate, grape syrup can also offer a positive contribution to your health.
