The origin of balsamic vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is a typical product of the Modena region of Italy. It is produced by fermenting cooked grape must, then aged in wooden barrels for several years. The longer the aging period, the higher the quality of the balsamic vinegar. Discover our selection of dense PGI balsamic vinegar to enhance your summer dishes.
