De Nigris 1889 Introduces First Pumpkin Spice Vinegar and Glaze to U.S. Market

Totowa, NJ – April 2024 – De Nigris 1889, one of Italy’s largest and most renowned producers of balsamic vinegar, is introducing two pumpkin spice vinegars as part of its innovative product line, heralding the essence of autumn to culinary enthusiasts nationwide. The De Nigris ‘limited-edition’ Pumpkin Spice Vinegar Glaze and Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider Vinegar are the first of their kind to hit the shelves in the United States. Both pumpkin condiments are made in Italy and bring elements and flavor profiles that are sure to elevate dishes and embrace the crisp taste of autumn.

Sales of pumpkin spice-related products in retail totaled more than $802 billion in the 12 months ending July 2023, according to NielsenIQ data. Their report also included an estimate of the number of pumpkin spice products on the market at over 3,000. One of the major factors that are expected to accelerate market growth includes the increasing consumer interest in healthy and natural products.

The Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider Vinegar provides the same health benefits as your everyday apple cider vinegar, but with a natural pumpkin spice aroma. This seasonal delicacy is high in antioxidants and recognized for its digestive and immune-boosting benefits, thus providing a delightful way to enjoy it while also nourishing the palate. This versatile condiment can be used to season salads, marinate meats or tofu, elevate sauces served with main courses, and even function as a refreshing beverage when diluted with sparkling water. 

The Pumpkin Spice Vinegar Glaze combines the rich sweetness of pumpkin with a bold kick of spice, as well as the sweet and savory notes that evoke balsamic vinegar flavors, to create a blend that transforms any dish into a fall harvest. This product has a complex flavor profile and thickness that makes it ideal to use for garnishing both sweet and savory dishes such as a pumpkin pie with whipped cream or drizzled over grilled meats and root vegetables.

“American consumers have a long-standing affinity for all things pumpkin, especially during the fall season, and as we see that continuing to grow, we decided to get in on the action,” said Michela De Nigris, a U.S.-based company executive and fourth-generation member of the De Nigris family. “The Apple Cider Vinegar and Glaze are the first in our product line that combine the decadent flavors of vinegar with the classic flavors of fall, and we are excited to launch this nationwide.”

For centuries De Nigris has dedicated itself to distributing products of excellence worldwide. Italian master vinegar makers have preserved the tradition of their craft, passing it along to the next generations of makers while guiding the spirit of innovation. The widespread popularity of pumpkin spice in the United States is ultimately what inspired the idea of bringing the pumpkin spice vinegars from Italy into the American market. The new product showcases De Nigris’ ability to enrich recipes with high-quality taste while also keeping in mind the desire for fresh, exciting kitchen staples.
