The Balsamic Red was meant to be a limited edition, but it proved so popular and loved that we never stopped making it since our first batch.

It is a hybrid ink - meaning that it consists of about 20% of Iron Gall, with a Carmine red concoction. Carmine is a processed product of raw cochineal, brighter and redder. Don't get it wrong, the ink is far from being a bright red: the Iron Gall part of it tries very hard to turn the ink too black. The result of the hybrid mix makes for a satisfyingly strong color that holds its own very well on paper - it's not mushy at all. It's a great ink for everyday writing, and it shows a wide range of color variations depending on the thickness of the stroke. This ink is not boring. Smooth as silk, writes like a velvet dream and you can achieve super fine hairlines unlike most other inks.

Do you know where Iron Gall comes from?
The base is a very pure distilled water which has been fermented with the Aleppo Oak Galls for over two months, in which we add our own secret blend of pigments, a binder and other secret ingredients to stabilize the ink. It will last forever on your shelf. Just shake it well before using for the most amazing color.

Such beautiful inks I can’t wait to write more with them. I got beetle juice and balsamic this time. The shipping was quick and the packaging was very thoughtful and secure. Thank you for the handwritten note, Mr Fox!!
