On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October, Traditional Modena Balsamic Vinegar P.D.O. and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I. made their debut at the International Fair of the White Truffle of Alba, one of the most prestigious showcases of Italian gastronomy.

The joint presence of the two Consorzi di Tutela, under the aegis of ‘Le Terre del Balsamico’, offered visitors a unique opportunity to discover the excellence of Modena’sBlack Gold’, paired with the prized White Truffle of Alba, the ‘White Gold’ of the Langhe.

Sensory experiences between show-cooking and tastings

During the weekend, the encounter between these two symbols of Italian gastronomy came to life through an exclusive showcooking led by Michelin-starred chef Fulvio Siccardi. The public was able to taste signature recipes that skilfully combined the unmistakable aroma of the White Truffle of Alba with the unique characteristics of Traditional Modena Balsamic Vinegar P.D.O.

Great interest was also aroused by the exclusive Masterclass dedicated to the press and sector operators, a moment of in-depth analysis to discover the secrets of production, the importance of the casks and the organoleptic peculiarities of these two extraordinary products.

A marriage of excellence

Participation in the Fair was an extraordinary opportunity to unite two Italian excellences in a sensory journey that celebrated the value of tradition, patience and know-how handed down through generations.

As emphasised by President Enrico Corsini: ‘Bringing Traditional Modena Balsamic Vinegar P.D.O. to such a prestigious context means reaffirming the indissoluble bond between our product and the Modena area, promoting the culture and authenticity that make it unique in the world.

The White Truffle of Alba Exhibition has thus confirmed itself not only as a celebration of taste, but also as a moment of encounter and enhancement of the best Italian products. Traditional Modena Balsamic Vinegar P.D.O. and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I., the protagonists of this edition, together told stories of excellence and tradition, uniting Modena’s ‘Black Gold’ with the precious White Truffle of the Langhe in a marriage of extraordinary flavours.
