Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O. is a product of exceptional value<\/strong>, fruit of ancient traditions and an inextricable bond with the Modena area.

Every drop encapsulates the passion, the dedication and the artistry of the master vinegar makers who, following age-old methods, transform the must of local grapes into an extraordinary condiment. Its production is strictly limited to the province of Modena, guaranteeing its uncompromising authenticity and quality.

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O. is available in two unmistakable versions: aged for at least 12 years and \u201cExtra Vecchio\u201d, aged for at least 25 years. Both fine examples of the excellence of Italian cuisine, they differ in terms of their intensity, aromatic complexity and possible culinary pairings.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Ideal for fresh salads, meat carpaccio or as a finishing touch on mature cheeses and fresh fruit, Affinato enriches every dish with its understated elegance. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n Extravecchio, aged at least 25 years <\/h3>\n

\n Aged for a minimum of 25 years, Extravecchio is the apex of intensity and complexity<\/strong>. This elixir, as dark as the night, stands out for its rich and enveloping bouquet, its deep notes of fine wood, dried fruit and spicy nuances. Its density regales the palate with a symphony of flavours that persists in a truly unforgettable way. Extravecchio is perfect for enhancing highly structured dishes like risottos and braised red meats or finishing off a meal in style, paired with a piece of extra mature Parmigiano Reggiano P.O.D.. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
