What is Traditional Balsamic?

“The real Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is produced in the area of the old estates of Estensi.

It is obtained from a cooked grape must. It’s matured by slow acidification and derived from natural fermentation. With a growing concentration through very long ageing. It is carried out in a series of tubs of different woods without the addition of aromatic essences.

Dark brown, full and shiny. It shows its density in a correct and fluid syrup.

It has a characteristic and complex aroma. Likewise, it’s penetrating, with an evident but pleasant and harmonious acidity.

With a traditional and unique sweet and sour taste, well-balanced. It is generously full. Savoury with velvety tones in accordance with its own olfactory characteristics.”
