Balsamic vinegar traditional and of Modena

IL BALSAMICO

Balsamic vinegar is a condiment. Its characteristics are a dark amber, bright colour, an intense flavour and a bitter-sweet taste. Such qualities acquire more and more refined heights as the Balsamico improves thanks to its permanence in the ageing casks made of the most precious woods, as is in the process of Tradizionale. Through the years, the flavours of the different woods are capable of transferring to the mix of the basic elements, simmered must and wine vinegar, those extraordinary smell and taste sensations that make this delicacy unique and extremely sought-after..

Balsamico is produced in several ways and with systems which cannot be confused:

• Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the type most widely consumed, making up most of the total production. Every producer proudly boasts individual characteristics and methods.
• Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the rarest and most expensive. Its great value comes from the pluridecennial refinement procedure in small casks permitting only very modest drawings.
• Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia : may be equivalent to the Traditional Balsamic of Modena, but its production area is the province of Reggio Emilia.
