True Balsamic Vinegar of Modena begins with specific grapes grown in Modena, Italy picked at the peak of ripeness that are then crushed, pressed and put through an evaporator before being mixed with an exclusive recipe of wine vinegar. Once mixed, the flavors come together as they mature in select wood barrels in a controlled environment before being analyzed and approved for bottling.
