Profile

In the Modena area, special vinegars have been produced for centuries, and the environmental conditions (terrain, climate) and the grape species are ideal for this type of product. The qualifier "balsamic" comes from the ancient habit of using it as a medicine and remedy for various complaints, and during the plague of the 1600s, it was also used as a disinfectant. During the Estense Family’s rule, the batteries of balsamic vinegar of Modena were left as dowries to the daughters of patrician or upper middle class families. Through the generations, the "secret of the vinegar" was closely guarded to avoid the corruption of a valuable product, which was used principally for holidays, gifts, and special occasions.

In more recent times, it has become a very commercial product. Numerous production companies were born, and in the 1960’s, they were awarded the first ministerial licenses. The first company to obtain this official recognition was Monari Federzoni.

The balance between sweet and sour makes this product ideal for use on fresh salads or for marinating meats and fish, where its decisive and tangy taste lifts flavor to new heights.
