Vinegar, Balsamic of Modena Bronze

The heritage of producing exquisite wood-aged vinegars in Emilia-Romagna traces back to the 11th century, during the Este family’s rule over the Duchy. Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, these vinegars were highly prized by the aristocracy—not only for their refined and complex flavour but also for their reputed ability to alleviate the effects of the plague.

Crafted from a blend of 60% cooked grape must and 40% wine, the vinegar is carefully aged in oak barrels. This traditional aging process imparts a beautifully balanced character with a tangy sweetness complemented by a vibrant, robust acidity.

The slow maturation in wood gives the vinegar its rich aroma and depth, making it a distinguished product that epitomizes the culinary excellence of Emilia-Romagna.

This vinegar is wonderfully versatile in the kitchen. Use it to dress fresh salads with ripe tomatoes and a drizzle of quality olive oil, or splash a few drops over Parmigiano Reggiano to elevate its flavour with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

Store in a cool, dry place to preserve its unique qualities and enjoy this noble product at its best.
