The product offered is Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena (Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena) and carries a D.O.P. ("Denominazione di Origine Protetta") stamp - a European Union certification that guarantees an ingredient's quality, production, and place of origin. The only ingredient is grape must. Traditional balsamic from Modena is only sold in a bulb-shaped 100ml bottle. Traditional balsamic vinegar begins with grape must -whole pressed grapes complete with juice, skin, seeds and stems. The must from sweet white locally grown and late-harvested grapes -usually Lambrusco or Trebbiano varieties- is 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," or five or more 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 flavors of the casks. For Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale Di Modena, there's only two grades, based on the aging period, affinato, which is aged a minimum of 12 years with a cream colored cap, or extra vecchio, aged for a minimum of 25 years with a gold colored cap. This particular Aceto Balsamico is aged for at least 12 years and is produced by Acetia Rossi Barattini, one of the oldest family producer in Modena and one of the most historical families in the province of Modena.
