Imported Italian Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena | Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena D.O.P

Traditional balsamic, the most prized of vinegars, has two grades: Those aged a minimum of twelve years, and those aged more than 25 years, which is then called extravecchio or "very old." The Balsamico Tradizionale is bottled under strict controls by the personnel of the Consorzio. These rare vinegars earn the privilege of being bottled in hand blown 100 ml. bottles of their respective regions; the Modenese use the distinctive flask shaped bottle created by Giugiaro of Ferrari design fame.

AFFINATO | 15 Year Traditional Balsamic Vinegar | Consorzio certified with the beige cork capsule, this traditional balsamic is viscous, purple black and glistening, with notes of mint, overripe plums, and heated honey.

EXTRAVECCHIO | 30 Year Traditional Balsamic Vinegar | Sealed with the white cork capsule signifying the highest level of Consorzio grading. Viscosity of maple syrup, with an opalescent radiance. Extremely aromatic, with flavor notes of sun-dried plums, dried herbs, and sweet, slightly tannic finish.
