We start with 100% Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy, slow cook it for about 12 hours and we reduce it in volume by 50%. Unlike other Balsamic Glazes we do not use any thickeners, artificial flavours or colours.
Balsamic glazes are finishing sauces. You can drizzle them on grilled meat, burgers, wings, salads or pizzas. They add extra flavour to whatever you are eating.
We recommend storing at room temperature.
Balsamic glazes are made to mimic aged balsamic vinegar. Aged balsamic vinegars are thicker, more robust in flavour, and sweeter than commercial-grade balsamic vinegar. They are primarily used as a finishing sauce and are very versatile. Balsamic glazes strike a balance between sweet and acidic flavors, adding another dimension to a meal.
The sweetness primarily comes from the natural sugars in the grapes, which caramelize during the cooking process of making balsamic Vinegar. Additional sweetness comes from other ingredients like fruit and wine. We also add non-GMO granulated cane sugar at the end of cooking to help balance the acidity.
We use a Cabernet Merlot wine in our Cabernet Merlot Balsamic Glaze; however, the alcohol is cooked off during the glaze process, which is validated through lab analysis.
Our Balsamic Glazes are non-GMO, gluten free, fat free and sodium free. Nonna Pia’s is a healthy alternative to any condiment or dressing.
Our production facility is located in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. The balsamic vinegar that we start with is a high-grade, three-leaf balsamic vinegar imported from Modena, Italy, and all of the glazes are made in Whistler.
All our sauces are small batch produced in Parma, Italy.
All our sauces deliver bold, delicious flavour straight from the jar, no tweaking needed! It’s as good or better than home cooked sauces!

Our Arrabiata, Siciliana, and Basil Marinara sauces are vegan/ vegetarian. Puttanesca is not as it contains anchovies.
The opened jar can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
“The mother” is a natural combination of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and proteins that form during fermentation. It gives the vinegar its cloudy appearance and is said to have health benefits.
Yes! Our organic apple cider vinegar is raw, unfiltered, and contains “the mother” to retain all its natural goodness.
Apple cider vinegar can be used for salad dressings, marinades, and health tonics. It’s also great for digestion, gut health, and even as a natural household cleaner.
Many people dilute 1-2 tablespoons in water, tea, or juice. Always consult with a healthcare provider if you have any health concerns.

Our tomato paste is made by deeply reducing fresh, ripe Italian tomatoes to a rich, thick consistency, intensifying their natural flavour. This means you get a more robust tomato taste with less product.
No! Our tomato paste contains only 100% pure tomatoes—no added salt, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
Our tomato paste is crafted in Italy using traditional methods to ensure authentic taste and quality.
Yes! Our tomato paste is made from non-GMO tomatoes.
Because it’s more concentrated than regular tomato paste, you can use less to get the same deep tomato flavour in sauces, soups, stews, and marinades. Try sautéing it in oil to unlock even more flavour!
Once opened, refrigerate for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze small portions in an ice cube tray.
Since it’s more concentrated, it delivers deeper flavour with less volume, reducing waste and enhancing your dishes without added water content.
