Perfect
balance of sweetness and acidity to drizzle
with oil over salads or add to meat stock.
Delicious also with parmigiano cheese and
strawberries.

CAMPI Vincenzo
(1530-35 - 1591) |
"Martha
is the personification of the busy housekeeper,
the active type, in contrast to her contemplative
sister, Mary of Bethany. She took the initiative
in fetching Christ to their house when their brother
Lazarus died. She is the patroness of housewives."

Perfect
balance ...
Perfect balance of sweetness and
acidity to drizzle with oil over salads or add to
meat stock. One of the best ways of appreciating
Balsamic Vinegar is to break chunks of Parmigiano
Reggiano onto a plate and gently drip the Balsamic
Vinegar onto each piece. This makes a fantastic
pre-dinner appetiser.

Unique
and traditional...
Balsamic means 'like balsam’
- and balsam is an aromatic resin - balsamic vinegar
simply refers to the fact that it is thick (resin
like) and aromatic. The unique and traditional balsamic
vinegar of Modena, Italy is made from the 'must'
(unfermented juice) of mainly the Trebbiano grape,
other grapes used are Lambrusco, Ancellotta, Sauvignon
and Sgavetta. These 'musts' cannot have anything
added. |

What is the difference from traditional and extra
old traditional balsamic vinegars?
The vinegar is made through the natural fermentation
of Trebbiano grapes, which are grown in the region.
Through each iteration, the vinegar is poured into
a series wooden casks (typically made of oak, chestnut,
cherry, ash, and mulberry), each imparting a different
flavor to the concoction. In all, it takes 12 years
to make a "tradizionale" balsamic vinegar
and 25 years to make a "tradizionale extra
vecchio." |
