Balsamic vinegar
Explore the excellence of the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Savour the gastronomic treasure of Italy with our Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, an
unparalleled culinary experience that embodies passion, tradition and the pursuit of
excellence. Every drop of this precious liquid tells a story of dedication and
craftsmanship, making every taste an unforgettable sensory experience.
We offer our customers the creation of a small and fantastic family-owned and artisanal reality: the
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, made from acetified grape must and aged in various batteries reaching up to
150 years of ageing (of which we own and sell some aged between 50 and 150 years, absolutely unique pieces
worldwide, numbered and with limited availability).
The Art of Food Pairing
Our collection includes also Balsamic Vinegars produced in single woods and aged for 20 years, respectively
in Juniper wood and Cherry wood, which always leave everyone who tastes them open-mouthed.
The main difference between these two incredibly aromatic vinegars is the flavour, which changes the ideal
match for dishes: vinegar aged in Cherry wood barrels is ideal for flavouring foie gras, Parmesan cheese,
desserts, ice cream, Parma ham and melon, smoked salmon and all kinds of cheese (especially goat's cheese),
while vinegar aged in Juniper wood barrels is ideal on red meat, on wild game, on rare fillet steak and on
grilled meats.
Beware of imitations
The real Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is made exclusively from acetified grape must (also known as Saba, which
was originally used as a sweetener back in the Ancient Roman era).
It differs from the balsamic vinegars normally found in supermarkets because the latter are produced using
caramel, wine vinegar and other additives in order to make the product as dense and sweet as real balsamic
vinegar, whereas in the original, a lot of time and processing is required to achieve this kind of sweetness
and density.
Chosen by the World's Top Chefs
The family that produces our Italian Black Gold is a vinegar producer in the province of Modena, where its

vinegar even more special.
