Lang Wine Vinegar Balsamic & Walnut Oil in a gift box. Tasting set consisting of balsamic vinegar and organic walnut oil, 50 ml each.
Lang Wine Vinegar Balsamic & Walnut Oil in a gift box is a small gift set from the Southern Palatinate. It contains two 50 ml bottles: Balsamico Südpfalz made from grape must and wine vinegar, and cold-pressed, unrefined organic walnut oil from the Wasgauer Ölmühle. Not a large supply, but a pair to try out.
The Balsamic & Walnut Oil Set from Lang Weinessig is a gift set containing a balsamic vinegar and a nut oil in a small white box. The idea is simple: both come from the same region, both are high-quality, and together they make a dressing that requires no additional ingredients. This set is a long-standing favorite with us—for colleagues, hosts, and your own kitchen.
Sweet acidity meets nutty depth
The two bottles are counterparts that get along well. The balsamic provides sweetness and acidity, while the walnut oil provides richness and nuttiness.
The Balsamico Südpfalz is sweet and mild with a bold spiciness and balanced acidity. Its character is fruity, complemented by woody notes from aging in oak and chestnut barrels. It consists of the ingredients a good vinegar needs: grape must and wine vinegar.
The organic Walnut Oil Südpfalz tastes exactly as you would expect: rustic and nutty, just like fresh walnuts. It is cold-pressed and unrefined, which is a special feature in terms of taste and quality. The organic control number is DE-ÖKO-006.
Both bottles are natural products with a short list of ingredients. The producer describes the set as a combination of fruity acidity and nutty depth. If you try the oil on its own, you will taste the nut. If you try the vinegar on its own, you will taste the sweetness first, followed by the spice.
Together, they make a well-rounded dressing: the sweetness of the balsamic takes the heaviness out of the nut, and the oil takes the sharpness out of the acidity.
With 50 ml per bottle, you have enough to get to know both varieties at your leisure. Afterward, you will know if you want to reach for the larger bottles.
Salad, antipasti, and cheese platters
Balsamic and walnut oil go well with everything robust: lamb's lettuce, arugula, chicory, or radicchio; and salads with goat cheese, pear, or figs. The basic recipe is simple: one part balsamic, two to three parts walnut oil, salt, pepper, and a spoonful of water—shake well.
An example for two people: clean the lamb's lettuce, roast a handful of walnut kernels, and add pear slices. For the dressing, whisk a teaspoon of balsamic with three teaspoons of walnut oil and a pinch of salt. Nothing more is needed, as both bottles have plenty of flavor on their own.
Beyond the salad bowl, there are many uses. The walnut oil can be used as a finish for antipasti, oven-roasted vegetables, and pasta with Parmesan. The balsamic seasons meat and vegetables and adds a dark note to sauces.
Nut and grape are a proven pair. A cheese platter with walnuts and grapes gets a drop of balsamic, a few drops of oil, and you have an appetizer ready. It also works with beetroot and feta, and an arugula salad with Parmesan is rounded off by the fine sweetness of the balsamic.
Even desserts benefit. The Balsamico Südpfalz harmonizes with strawberries, and a few drops over fresh fruit or vanilla ice cream make a simple dessert. You can leave out the walnut oil for this.
Our tip: Add the walnut oil only at the end to the finished dish. This keeps the taste of the nut at the forefront, and the oil remains exactly as it came from the bottle.
This set is not suitable for those who prepare large quantities of salad for many people. The small bottles are intended for tasting and are quickly used up.
Two products, one region
Lang Weinessig is a producer based in Gommersheim in the Southern Palatinate. It was founded by Jens Michael Lang, a trained chef who learned his craft in starred kitchens. For over ten years, he has been producing wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings. Many of his vinegars are based on wines from an organic-certified winery in the Southern Palatinate.
Lang wants to inspire people in their everyday lives with high-quality products and authentic taste. For a set like this, that means two bottles used daily because they can be put to work in one simple step.
The Balsamico Südpfalz is the Lang product in the set. It comes from the production facility, and aging in barrels gives it its character. The walnut oil comes from the Wasgauer Ölmühle, which supplies the organic spiced oils for Lang.
Both ingredients represent what the producer stands for: ingredients from the region whenever possible and minimal processing. In the case of the balsamic, there are two ingredients; for the walnut oil, there is one.
The box is small and white, making it as suitable as a small gift for dinner as it is a gift for trying out in your own kitchen.
A gift for anyone who loves making salad
The set is perfect for people who enjoy eating salad and choose their ingredients with care. For small kitchens, the size is ideal, as two 50 ml bottles take up almost no space.
It is also suitable for those who have never used balsamic and walnut oil together before. Instead of a large bottle that might just sit in the cupboard, you get to try two small ones that show what they are capable of.
If you cook for yourself, you can keep both bottles side-by-side in your kitchen and test different combinations over several weeks: lamb's lettuce, beetroot, goat cheese, pear, arugula.
It is small enough for a "thank you" gift and high-quality enough to be noticed.
For more variety, you can give the Vinegar & Oil Gourmet Set as a gift. It contains four 50 ml bottles, including the organic Liese vinaigrette and organic mountain pepper oil. And if you want the balsamic for everyday use, get the 250 ml bottle. You can find more products from the producer on the Lang-Weinessig page.
This set is not suitable for people with a nut allergy, as the walnut oil remains a nut product.
