Gran Deposito G. Giusti, Acetai da 1605, Modena, Emilia Romagna:
In Emilia Romagna, the must from Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes (a byproduct of wine-making) is transformed by cooking and aging according to a special recipe to create one of the region’s most valuable gastronomic jewels: balsamic vinegar. The vinegar is aged for years, transferred from large barrels to successively smaller barrels made from woods (chestnut, cherry, juniper, and oak) which impart fruity, woodsy, and earthy flavors to the sweet and viscous balsamico. With a history that stretches back more than four hundred years, the Giusti family were the first to document the recipe for Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale in 1863. The oldest continuously operated Balsamico producer
White Label- Aged in wooden barrels and finished with a dose of extra-aged aceto balsamico, this smooth and fragrant vinegar has the most persistent flavor of all in the Giusti collection. Because its flavor stands up well against other ingredients and higher heat, it is a good choice for salad dressing and cooked foods.
