Our Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP is a slow-crafted condiment, matured for a minimum of 12 certified years in wooden barrels.

The must is cooked in open vats, then left to ferment and acetify naturally before it begins its slow aging. Each year it passes through a series of barrels in different woods and decreasing sizes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery wood adds its own character: chestnut deepens the color, cherry softens the flavor, juniper adds a resinous note and oak gives a gentle vanilla fragrance. The result has a bright, dark brown color and a texture that flows freely yet is dense. The aroma is lingering, with pleasant acidic undertones and a flavor that is lively, intense and harmonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA versatile finishing touch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis traditional balsamic is savory and measured, and it is surprisingly versatile. It is at its best with Parmesan cheese and fresh strawberries. It also brings a refined finish to salads, beef carpaccio, roast and boiled meats, aged cheeses and fresh fruit. Each bottle is presented in the distinctive round 100ml bottle with a rectangular base, required by the Production Regulations, and carries a numbered seal. That makes it a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves authentic Italian food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUse it raw, drop by drop, just before serving so its aroma stays intact. Drizzle a few drops over shards of Parmesan or sliced strawberries, or mix it with extra virgin olive oil for an elegant salad dressing. For a simple main course, add a few drops to roast or boiled meats right before bringing them to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urbani Truffles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71800432787709,"sku":"MV73371","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0049\/4731\/2686\/files\/aceto_1.png?v=1793733969","url":"https:\/\/urbani.com\/products\/balsamic-modena-vinegar-aged-12years","provider":"Urbani Truffles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
