Detailed Description for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 3.50 oz

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 3.50 oz/100 ml
50 years old
The unique and traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena, Italy, is made from the "must" (unfermented juice) of mainly the Trebbiano grape, other grapes used are Lambrusco, Ancellotta, Sauvignon and Sgavetta. These "musts" cannot have anything added. The must is then boiled down in open pots over a direct flame. The extract (concentrated juice) from this cooking is now a fruity syrup. At this point some "mother" of vinegar can be added. ("Mother" is a stringy, slimy substance that forms on the surface of vinegar, composed of various yeast and bacteria that cause fermentation in wine and cider, and turn it into acetic acid - vinegar). It is then aged in barrels of different woods - first in one, then transferred to another etc. Each company has its own secret progression of wooden barrels usually including chestnut, ash tree, cherry, mulberry, juniper and oak. The finished vinegar must be at least 12 years old, and some is aged much longer. The finished vinegar is then presented to the DOC, a governing body similar to those that govern the quality of French and Italian wines. Balsamic vinegars without this designation on the label are usually unaged, aged for 6 months to a year in stainless steel tanks, or aged for 2 to 12 years in wooden barrels.
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the ideal condiment for fresh and steamed vegetables, on boiled meats, to prepare sauces and to put finishing touches on preparations of meats, fish, or desserts. For cooked foods, Balsamic is added just before the end of cooking. For hot foods, uniformly season with balsamic vinegar on the garnished dish. For desserts, marry it to a sauce or sprinkle a few drops on parsimoniously.
