Aged Balsamic Mignonette

My love affair with oysters is eternal—so naturally, they’re headlining my Valentine’s Day lineup.

Oysters may be the food of love, but when you top them with a mignonette infused with Bona Furtuna’s 12-year Aged Balsamic Vinegar, you’re creating pure romance on a half shell.

This rich, complex balsamic brings just the right touch of sweetness to balance the oysters’ natural brine—a true chef’s kiss moment.

Want to impress your Valentine? Here’s how:

Aged Balsamic Mignonette

• 2 tbsp Bona Furtuna 12-year Aged Tradizionale DOP Balsamic Vinegar

• 2 tbsp finely minced shallot

• 1 tsp finely chopped pink peppercorn

• Pinch of sea salt

• Bona Furtuna EVOO, for garnish

• Edible flowers, for garnish

Let the mignonette chill for 20 minutes, then spoon over freshly shucked oysters. Garnish with edible flowers and a drop of EVOO per oyster. Then watch the sparks fly.

Looking to turn up the romance? The Romeo & Juliet gift set from Bona Furtuna is your perfect match.

Enjoy this delicious Valentine’s Day recipe!

In good taste,

Melissa
