Consorzio Tutela Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena D.O.P. is delighted to present the new “Aceto in Comune” guide to the prestigious Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O. and the fascinating municipal vinegar lofts.

Edited by Consorteria dell’Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale – the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Guild – of Spilamberto and promoted by Grand Master and Chairman Maurizio Fini, this guide is an invitation to discover the “Black Gold” hidden away in the Modena area. Through its pages, tourists and residents will be able to explore the 25 vinegar lofts that form part of the “Aceto in Comune” project, learning all the secrets of the traditional production process.
But that’s not all: the guide includes an innovative “passport” that enables visitors to collect stamps during their tours of the vinegar lofts. By accumulating these stamps, they can win exclusive prizes, from a prestigious designer t-shirt to a delicious little bottle of vinegar through to enrolment on a course to become junior tasters or a special bottle of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar.
The municipal vinegar lofts included in the guide are a testament to the ancient traditions and modernity that characterise Modena: from the Municipality of Modena to the headquarters of the Military Academy in Palazzo Ducale. Numerous other municipalities, from the Po Valley to the Apennines, are also included, guaranteeing lovers of traditional balsamic vinegar a unique and comprehensive overview that also extends to the private vinegar lofts where true “Black Gold of Modena” is produced.
