Dear Friend,
You may know that the Aceto Balsamico is a special type of balsamic vinegar produced in the Emilia Romagna region, in the very heart of Italy.
This condiment is sure to add an unmistakable flavor and sophistication to everything from salads to main courses or desserts. In fact, many chefs are using it as the key ingredient to their famous dishes. It may sound a bit sophisticated for some tastes, but an introduction to this condiment makes it more approachable.
And what about the production method? Well, it is interesting that the history of Aceto Balsamico harks back to the times of the Ancients Romans, who were already familiar with the aging of vinegar and those who are now making this specific vinegar have been preserving its authentic taste and quality for several generations. In fact, the production method has been passed down from one generation to another.
The “Real” Aceto Balsamico is made with acetified mosto (must) collected directly from the casks during the aging process and then left in oxygen-free oak barrel to complete the natural cycle of maturation.
The blend of grape must, the aging time and the type of oak barrel define the quality of this vinegar.
OK, now I am sure that whoever has just read this quick newsletter will be a bit more aware about the history and the amazing production method of the “Real” Aceto balsamico.
You will have noticed that I just wrote the word “Real” (beside Aceto Balsamico)! Yes, because there are a lot of fake and sounding products of poor quality around it that are very bad because they are actually produced with chemicals… Well, surely you need to offer the Real Aceto Balsamico to your Customers! How can you do that?
