Our Balsamic vinegars are created by a collaboration between us and a family run balsamic vinegar house which was started over 100 years ago. This Acetaia (vinegar maker) from Modena, the original birthplace of real balsamic vinegar, has a long tradition and generations of secret formulas which yield some truly amazing balsamics done with age-tested methods. This balsamic vinegar maker stood out as having consistently exceptional high quality vinegars. Since we started this project we have tasted several hundred balsamic vinegars to select the ones we thought stood out as the best of the field.
