From Tribute to Table: A Memorial Day to Remember
Posted by Alayne Gardner-Carimi on
Honoring Heroes
Memorial Day is a time to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. In tribute, vomFASS Madison will be closed on Memorial Day so our team can pause, reflect, and pay their respects. Across the nation, communities will gather for ceremonies and quiet moments of gratitude—then come together to enjoy the sunshine, share meals, and celebrate the freedoms our heroes fought to protect.
Unofficial Start to Summer
These gatherings become the unofficial start of summer—a time to fire up the grill, set out the picnic tables, and welcome the season with backyard barbecues and festive flavors. Alongside classic favorites like burgers and grilled corn, Memorial Day is the perfect time to bring something new to the party.
Power Up
One of our favorite ways to level up your cookout? Sloe Balsamic Vinegar with Aronia! It’s fruity, a little tart, and packed with personality. Think grilled peaches, vibrant salads, tangy marinades, and even craft cocktails.
This flavor-packed balsamic is made with wild sloe berries (sloe are the berries from blackthorn, a low, spreading, thorny bush/small tree. Having black bark, white flowers, and deep blue fruits, it is a wild relative of the cultivated plum). The fruitiness and typical acidity of sloe harmonize perfectly with aronia. The antioxidant-rich aronia berries are known for their deep, wine-like astringency. Both berries are delicious and full of good-for-you nutrients like vitamin C, polyphenols, and anthocyanins.
Whether you’re drizzling, mixing, or shaking this fruit balsamic into something new, this unique vinegar—crafted by vomFASS in Germany—is your secret weapon for unforgettable summer flavor. Let the sunshine, sizzle, and flavor begin!
