25 Star Quality 

We are thrilled to partner with a third-generation artisan vinegar company that has been producing exceptional vinegar since 1889. Their commitment to traditional methods and careful selection of grapes ensures the highest quality product.

The process begins with the selection of Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes, known for their ideal sugar content. The grapes are pressed, and the resulting juice, called "must," is heated in copper cauldrons to reduce its volume through evaporation. This concentrated liquid is then decanted into wooden barrels, including chestnut, oak, juniper, and cherry, where it ages and transforms into vinegar.

As time passes, part of the liquid evaporates, and part is absorbed into the wood, creating a unique flavor profile. This process, known as "rincalzo," occurs during the grape harvest period. The vinegar is transferred into smaller barrels, and new "must" is added to "top off" the larger barrel, continuing the aging process.

The result is a vinegar of exceptional quality, reaching a perfect balance of aroma and flavor when fully matured. The dark balsamic vinegar is dark in color, with a thick consistency and a sweet, pungent taste that delights the senses. The white balsamic vinegar is produced in the same manner but with the lightest batch of grape must, resulting in a lighter color.

Our vinegar can be used in a variety of culinary applications, including sauces, marinades, salad dressings, and desserts. It is a traditional-style condiment, free from preservatives, colors, and caramel. Additionally, it is free of major allergens, including dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy.

We are proud to offer this artisan vinegar to our customers, knowing that it is produced with the utmost care and attention to detail. Its exceptional quality and versatility make it a perfect addition to any kitchen.
