Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Certification

The product is certified as Aceto Balsamico di Modena, a designation that attests to the geographical indication of the product. In order to be marketed under this designation, the product must comply with the rigorous “disciplinary” that defines its production and quality standards. Each batch is subjected to strict controls and supervision by the independent body delegated by the Ministry of Agriculture, guaranteeing the consumer a product of excellence. The yellow and blue logo of the Protected Geographical Indication on the bottle attests to its authenticity. Fruit of the wisdom and craftsmanship of the Master Acetieri di Mussini, IL DENSO 5 Medaglie respects the parameters of the specification. This constant commitment reflects our dedication to offering a natural and healthy balsamic vinegar, which embodies the true essence of the Italian tradition.

The “5 Medals” classification

The designation “5 Medals” represents the highest level of excellence for our balsamic vinegars. It indicates a quality that comes from a long and meticulous production process, and from the refinement in oak barrels. This process gives the product high density and viscosity, with a perfectly balanced sweet and sour taste and a long-lasting aftertaste of musts. The precision in the selection of natural ingredients and the care in the production ensure that IL DENSO 5 Medaglie offers a unique structure and an impeccable balance between sweetness and acidity.

Ingredients and values

The ingredients of this Balsamic Vinegar are natural and of the highest quality: cooked grape must and wine vinegar. The must comes from Trebbiano, Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Albana, Ancellotta, Fortana and Montuni grapes, and is subjected to a careful cooking process. High density and viscosity, with an acidity of 6%, are the strengths to which our Acetieri tend. The syrupy consistency is ideal for decorating and flavouring any dish, adding a touch of refinement to every preparation. So the rule is: few natural and healthy ingredients, no added additives.

Aroma and flavour

The aroma is a harmony of intense notes of fine woods, reflecting the long maturation in wooden barrels. This aroma is accompanied by a light acetic note, which marries perfectly with the sweet and sour taste on the palate. At the first taste, the fruity notes of plums and the hints of vanilla are clearly perceived, which enrich the complexity of the taste. The balance between sweetness and acidity creates a perfect harmony, making this balsamic vinegar ideal for a variety of dishes.
