The real balsamic vinegar is an artisanal product from
Modena in Italy. It is matured in wooden barrels, without
the addition of other ingredients. To each new barrel, a
quantity of vinegar from the oldest barrel is added to start
the maturing process.
12 years is about the minimum age at which the special
characteristics of this noble vinegar come to the fore. The
longer the maturation, the better the taste. We have had
the privilege of tasting 100-year-old aceto balsamico. This
is not only indescribable in terms of taste, but also more
expensive than gold. Know that at that age, more than
80% of the original volume has evaporated.
