Twelve years in wood – concentrated preciousness
Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP is made from cooked grape must, which slowly acidifies through natural fermentation and is further concentrated over many years. It matures in small barrels made of different woods – each wood contributes its own note in terms of aroma and character. Only in its twelfth year of maturation may it be called "Tradizionale" (Affinato).
The result is a dense, syrupy vinegar with great aromatic depth: sweet and sour at the same time, velvety on the palate. Just a few drops are enough.
It goes well with salads and raw or cooked vegetables, with boiled or grilled fish, with boiled beef, with aged cheese – and, classically, with fruits and dessert. A few drops on strawberries, Parmesan, or vanilla ice cream transform a simple dish into something special.
Bottled in the typical 100ml DOP bottle – also a nice gift for connoisseurs.
