EXTRAVECCHIO 25 YRS TRADITIONAL Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO
£84.50
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (or Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale) a type of balsamic vinegar produced in Emilia Romagna region of Italy. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (TBV) is produced from cooked grape must, aged at least 12 years, and is protected under the European Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) system. Although the name is similar to the Balsamic Vinegars the two are very distinct products both in their composition and manufacture.
DESCRIPTION: The process of making the TBV starts from freshly squeezed grape juice and finishes with sensorial evaluation of the aged vinegar. Under a technological perspective, basic steps are required including cooking of the grape must, alchoholic fermentation by yeasts, acetic oxidation by acetic acid bacteria and a very long slow aging within a barrel set of different woods (oak, cherry, walnut, chestnut and juniper…).

The path and the scent insinuate itself in the succession of generations. Paolo Vecchi has breathed this perfume since childhood and the essence has taken root in him to turn into a balsamic passion of a lifetime. Tenacity and a far-sighted obstinacy have never abandoned him and now the perfume is generously preserved in a white vinegar cellar like the most beautiful of whales. From a distance, the vinegar factory looks like a vessel that sails safely on the routes of new scenarios to be explored. As if the Modena countryside were a port from which to set sail to bring its most precious perfume around the world. Authentic mission. Paolo Vecchi is a brave captain who moves fast everywhere with the patience that genuine people possess. A bit like the fruit of its perfume, which has vinegar as its name and by virtue the slow awareness of becoming.
