Balsamic comes out in a slower pour…this is even thicker than normal.  Easy to keep a very even pour and control the direction.  

Olive oil – nice slow controlled pour.  

Balsamic – comes out very fast and thick and harder to aim.  Pouring from a paper cup that has been folded to make a spout is the easiest.

The shoot went great.  The products were fairly easy to control and aim and get the proper speed.  Atmosphere was AWESOME.  Everyone rocked.  Very relaxed.   The clients were on set and great to chat with.  Everyone was really friendly and made the shoot easy.  Arrived at 8:30am left a lil after 4:30pm.  Great lunch – catered and they let everyone use the balsamic on all the sandwiches and stuff.  The bliss balsamic was AMAZING on the vanilla icecream.  I think perhaps, better than chocolate syrup.
