A product with a tradition reaching back over the centuries in the lands
governed by the Este family -- more or less equivalent to today's province
of Modena. Modena Balsamic Vinegar is obtained by the slow fermentation of
boiled musts from grapes produced in chosen areas, mixed with carefully
measured amounts of wine and vinegar. It is naturally aged and refined in
small barrels of different wood such as oak, chestnut, juniper etc.
following the tradition in the production area. Last but not least, the
climate in the Modena area, with its wide variations in temperture not only
between seasons but also every day, as well as the constant high humidity
level, play a vital part in giving Modena Balsamic Vinegar its unmistakable
bouquet.

Used for an infinite variety of purposes; on all types of cooked or salad
vegetables, in the prparation of meat, fish and side dishes, in desserts
such as fruit salads and strawberries and poured over ice-cream, or mixed
with vodka in some cocktails. Thirst-quenching when diluited with water, it
is also an excellent aid to the digestion.
