4 x Balsamic Vinegar

Our balsamic vinegar is a “Traditional Balsamic Vinegar” the granddaddy of balsamic vinegars. To this day it is only made in Modena, Italy, using traditional methods, and production is overseen from beginning to end by a special certification agency. It begins with organically grown grapes of Trebbiano, Sauvignon and Lambrusco varieties cooked over a direct flame until concentrated by roughly half, then left to ferment naturally for up to three weeks, and then matured and further concentrated for a minimum of 12 years in a "batteria”, a group of successively smaller aging barrels. These barrels are made of different types of wood such as oak, chestnut, cherry, juniper, and mulberry, so that the vinegar can take on the complex flavours of the casks. Directly selcted by the Lombardi family our Balsamic Vinegar is produced by one of the finest makers in Modena and bottled under our supervision in Pornanino.
