The Jewel of Autumn

Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy all things pomegranate! Cuisine featuring pomegranates is very diverse, thanks to their robust sweet-tart and tanic flavors and crunchy nature. The tannins in pomegranate juice - as with good wine - balance acid and sugar. Pomegranates are used in baking, cooking, garnishes, smoothies, and juice blends. They add interest and acidity to savory dishes and refreshing beauty to alcoholic beverages. Perfectly balanced, vomFASS Pomegranate Balsamic is specially prepared for you to easily enjoy the exotic tropical flavor of pomegranates in your culinary creations all year round. 

Multi-Cultural Influencer

The tropical pomegranate has traveled the globe, from its regions of origin in the Himalayas of Northern India and in Iran, east to China and Indonesia, and west to the Levant and Mediterranean areas, and then on to the Caribbean and the Americas. It has inspired historical leaders, brilliant authors, and famous artists.   

Pick a Perfect Orb

Ripe pomegranate fruit comes in many colors, from light pink to a dark purple. However, the crimson red of the Wonderful cultivar is most prevalent in the United States. To select the best pomegranate at the market, don’t rely on color. Instead, look for unbruised fruit which feels heavy for its size and is almost hexagonal with matte (not glossy) leathery skin. Tap it lightly. The ones that make a tinny, “metallic” sound are ripe and full of flavor packed seeds. The average pomegranate contains about a 1/2 cup of seeds, but pomegranates can have as few as 200 or as many as 1400 seeds.

HINT: Choosing vomFASS Pomegranate Balsamic means you can add the beauty and flavor of pomegranate to your culinary creations without needing to find a perfect specimen in your grocer's produce section!

Bursting with Goodness

Today, pomegranates are known throughout the world for their health benefits. Research has shown this fruit contains substantial amounts of vitamin C, niacin, and potassium, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant constituents (three times as many antioxidants per serving than either red wine or green tea). Science aside, it is chock full of flavor and the juice of its seeds (arils) has been transporting thirst quenching moisture and nutrition for caravan travelers and seafarers for at least 4000 years!  

Family Favorite

The history of pomegranates is as rich as its flavor. Its tart, tangy sweetness imparted a distinctive flavor to many dishes, particularly in ancient times before lemons had reached the Middle East.

A favorite of the Gibson family, the natural color and flavor of pomegranates are embodied in our award winning Pomegranate Balsamic. Pair it with different nut oils to dress pungent leafy salads (a staff favorite is Kale salad dressing with Pomegranate Balsamic and FassZination Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil) or try in a beef or lamb marinade to take dinner the next gastronomic level!  

As with all vomFASS fruit balsamics, our Pomegranate Balsamic is made naturally and without preservatives. This is a wonderfully fruity balsamic can be mixed with sparkling water and a spoonful of honey for beautiful and natural fruit soft drink the whole family can enjoy! Its pomegranate base makes it also suitable to add flavor to desserts and fruit salads, as well as for rounding dark sauces.
