Use Balsamic Vinegar All you need to know about Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
The Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI denomination is wrong! The correct name is: “Consortium for the Protection of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena”. Protection is the word that better identified the activity done by this Institution. Total protection that includes: product production control, violence against counterfeiting and commercial promotion.
The Consortium was born in 1993 from a project of a group of manufacturers. The main objective of the group was obtaining the PGI brand name. Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies gave it to them in 2014. The Consortium is located at 113 Ganaceto Street, Modena. https://www.consorziobalsamico.it – [email protected]
The European Union gave The PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) denomination to the Balsamic on the third of July 2009. The goal has been achieved but is not the only objective of the Consortium. Indeed it has the duty of controlling the conformity of the product based on the rules dictated by the “Disciplinare di Produzione”. The Consortium does a lot of activities in conjunction with the MIPAAF and the certifying body CSQA. It monitors and controls the correct labelling of products on the market. It also promotes various initiatives to spread its cultural heritage to create greater awareness to protect the consumer.
The Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena has monitored the Italian and foreign food market for some years. It has fought the diffusion of similar products and has promoted the unique characteristics of the Modenese Balsamic.
We take this opportunity to remind you of our article on “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena The Original” the project implemented by the Consortium in 2017.
