Fine Tastes of ModenaTraditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, also known as "ABTM" is a bittersweet condiment, produced exclusively in the province of Modena. This product is DOP certified (PDO: Protected Designation of Origin), meaning it can only be produced, processed and prepared in the Province of Modena.
Any balsamic vinegar produced anywhere else can not legally be called a "Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena".
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is obtained from the must of Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes grown in the Province of Modena. The must is cooked and subjected to slow acidification which is a natural fermentation and progressive concentration through long aging in barrels of decreasing size, made from different types of wood (oak, cherry, ash, chestnut, mulberry and juniper). In fact the different wood, with their diverse porosity and quality through the process of osmosis, play an important function for the texture, color and the vinegar's distinctive bouquet.
The final product is a glossy, dark brown, syrupy vinegar with a unique bittersweet, full-bodied flavor.
Here is some more information on recipes, facts and the method for making traditional Modena balsamic vinegar.
