Tangy, versatile, and distinctly Mediterranean. Produced by Ariston Specialties, a four-generation Greek family producer brought to the US from Bloomfield, Connecticut. Featured in Doug Singer's \"Gastronomes' Guide to Culinary Excellence\" (2025). Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free. No added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAriston's name comes from the ancient Greek \"παν μέτρον άριστον\" — the very best. The lemon balsamic starts with a quality aged balsamic base — fuller and more complex than a standard white balsamic — then infuses it with Sicilian lemon for a bright, tangy citrus finish. The result is a condiment that works equally as a salad dressing, a marinade, a finishing drizzle, or a dipping companion to Ariston's infused olive oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged balsamic condiment, Sicilian lemon-infused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged white balsamic — richer and more complex than standard white balsamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Sicilian lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ariston Specialties — four-generation Greek family business, Bloomfield, CT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.45 fl oz (250ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, no added sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAriston Lemon Balsamic vs. a lighter lemon balsamic — which to choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all lemon balsamics are the same. Ariston uses an aged balsamic base, which gives it a richer, more complex lemon-balsamic character — fuller body, deeper flavour, bolder finish. A lighter white balsamic-based lemon condiment will be more delicate and clean, better for dishes where you want a summer brightness without much weight. Ariston Lemon Balsamic is the choice when you want depth alongside the citrus — autumn-rich rather than summer-light. For a mezze table, a grain salad, or a roasted vegetable dish, the aged base makes the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalad dressings\u003c\/strong\u003e — whisk with Ariston Lemon or Garlic EVOO for a composed Mediterranean vinaigrette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeafood\u003c\/strong\u003e — drizzle over grilled fish, scallops, or shrimp as a finishing condiment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChicken\u003c\/strong\u003e — use as a marinade base or brush on in the final minutes of roasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain and lentil salads\u003c\/strong\u003e — toss while warm for the dressing to absorb fully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMezze\u003c\/strong\u003e — serve alongside PDO feta, olives, and warm pita as a dipping condiment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted vegetables\u003c\/strong\u003e — drizzle over root vegetables, asparagus, or zucchini after roasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProducer \u0026amp; heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAriston Specialties is a Greek-American family business with four generations of olive oil and condiment production.
