Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Italy Long maturation of cooked grape must of Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes Highly concentrated and incredibly versatile for many dishes Our Platinum dark label Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy is obtained from the long maturation of cooked grape must of Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes, and slowly aged in a battery of fine quality wooden barrels composed of oak, mulberry, chestnut and juniper until sweet and dense (high density of 1.34). When properly aged it gives the Balsamic a wonderful intense aroma and a dense, velvety texture, while maintaining a lightness and delicate hint of acidity (4.5%) which means it is highly concentrated and incredibly versatile for many dishes, such as on fruit and salads, with meats and cheeses, and even drizzled on top of ice cream.
