About Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is a protected Italian vinegar made from cooked grape must and aged for an extended period in a succession of wooden casks. It is used sparingly as a finishing condiment, rather than as a generic everyday vinegar.

It is a dark, glossy, viscous liquid with a concentrated sweet-sour grape character and layered aromas shaped by ageing. It is sold at different minimum ageing categories; it should not be confused with less-aged balsamic vinegar or the separately protected product from Reggio Emilia.
