This product is made exclusively with GMO-free and organ- ically farmed grapes, without pesticides in- volved. The entire production process is certified in order to guarantee consumers the compliance with highest organic farming standards, guaranteed by the CCPB certify- ing body. The grape must, cooked over a direct heat in an open vessel, simmers slowly and is concentrated until it is reduced to about one third of its original volume. It is then placed in the attic, in a series of casks of oak wood. Here, the balsamic vinegar passes the years acidifying, aging until it has reached a bal- ance that only the alchemy of time can mas- ter, prodded along by the masterful hands of artisans. This balsamic is naturally dark and dense, with a 5 percent acidity content. The balsamic is sweet with a very light pun- gency and an extremely thick consistency. They have tasting notes of raisins, plum and some smoothness from oak barrels. This product pairs well with any fine cheese or fruit, and finishes all dishes including salads, filet mignon, seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, certain desserts, vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, gelato and many more. It's also great for salad dressings and entertaining guests, and is even delicious in drinks and seltzer water. This item comes in Traditional, Apple, Fig, Pomegranate, Pear & Cinnamon, Bluberry and Black Cherry. Try them all! Ariston's 4-Leaf & Organic Bal- samic Vinegar comes to you in a beautifully packaged box. Ariston cordially invites you to taste all its products, including its new CBD in- fused olive oil.

PJC Offers Functional Beverages At the forefront of the recent "all things pickle" movement is the Texas-based Pickle Juice © Company. Founded in 2001, the Pickle Juice Company, LLC (PJC) has become a global leader in the functional beverage space. Recognized as one of the top 10 fastest grow- ing food and beverage companies in North America and the No. 1 global product to stop muscle cramps, PJC has led the way in creat- ing hyper functional beverages that have be- come staples for everyone from the casual consumer to elite sports teams and athletes. PJC's flagship product lines, Pickle Juice Sport and Extra Strength Pickle Juice Shots are purpose-built products that have nothing to do with pickles or pickling. The name Pickle Juice ® is a registered trademark that was selected for the product because the pro- prietary grain of vinegar that is used to block the neural receptors that cause muscle cramping lead it to taste similar to pickle brine, the stuff from the jar. Studies dating back to 2010 indicate that muscle cramps are a neurological issue rather than a physio- logical one so, contrary to popular belief, the cramps are not stopped by the high level of electrolytes in pickle juice; it's the proprietary vinegar that functions as a neural inhibitor. Other features of Pickle Juice include that it is certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agri- culture, sugar free, caf- feine free, contains 10 times the electrolytes of common sports drinks and is made in the USA using only locally and domestically sourced component parts and ingredients.
