Balsam Portable Oil & Vinegar Set from Peugeot

Peugeot presents the Balsam Portable Seasoning Duo, a beautiful oil and vinegar set that combines technical sophistication, practicality and style.  Suitable for a wide range of oils and vinegars, it features clear borosilicate glass bottles with specially designed stainless steel pourers, plus a stainless-steel tray, all with black accents.

“With the ever-growing trend toward gourmet dining, the seasoning sector is expanding, and Peugeot is expanding with it.  This is our first oil and vinegar set, a logical line extension since oil and vinegar can be found side by side with our pepper and salt mills,” said Yvette Laugier, General Manager, PSP North America, LLC/Peugeot.

BALSAMThe gracefully tapered bottles feature “Drop-Select” pourers for a gradually adjustable pour, giving users the choice between drip flow, continuous flow, or total closure.  The no-drip system means the bottles are always impeccable, stain and leak free. Each pourer has two spouts for easy right- or left-handed use.  When closed, the bottles are ideal for safe storage of oil and vinegar to prevent flavor degradation.

The patented tip-proof tray keeps the set neat and organized on the table or countertop.  The contemporary design includes a stainless-steel handle for safe and easy transport from kitchen to table.

“The Balsam Portable Seasoning Duo was inspired by the French way of life, because oil and vinegar can enhance flavor and taste as much as the pepper, salt, chili pepper and nutmeg that you grind in our mills,” said Laugier.

The entire set is dishwasher safe and BPA free.

The Peugeot Balsam Portable Seasoning Duo comes gift boxed, with images to romance product usage.  It comes with a 2-year warranty and will be available for immediate shipment, with a suggested retail price of $65.  See it in the South Hall at the International Home + Housewares Show.
