100% Top Quality GrapesThe Aceto Balsamico Balsamic Vinegar of Modena can only be produced in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia where there is an abundance of grapes with just the right concentration of sugars and acidity. The conditions near the Adriatic Sea favor the development of the native acetic flora which determines the maturation and the aging process of the Balsamic Vinegar. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is produced from specific grapes (usually Lambrusco or Trebbiano varieties). |
Ancient ProcessBalsamic vinegar is not wine vinegar but is rather made from unfermented grape pressings. The fresh juice is boiled down to thick, sweet syrup. It then goes into wooden barrels, where, along with a vinegar “mother,” it ages. This centuries old process, which can continue indefinitely, further concentrates the vinegar, and the thickening and sweetening intensifies. The choice of types of wood and age of the barrels contribute further character and flavor to the final product. |
Aged in 300 Year Old BarrelsA great Balsamic Vinegar can not exist without a great collection of barrels. The older a barrel, the more extraordinary properties it leaves to the vinegar. This Italian balsamic vinegar of Modena is made from flavorful sun dried grapes and aged wine vinegar extracted from a series of centuries old casks. The rich sweetness brings notes of fig, molasses, cherry, and light chocolate. It offers a complexity of flavors and velvety texture that balances perfectly with complementary foods. |
