Traditional DOP Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia Gold Stamp (Bollino Oro)
£145.00 GBP
In Reggio Emilia, it is said that in ancient times, Saint Prosper once coaxed a blanket of fog over the city, concealing it from barbarian armies and saving it from a terrible fate. Fog became a precious ally and similarly, the inclement seasons of the valley became essential for our traditional balsamic vinegar, its remarkable flavour and limpid purity.
Traditional balsamic vinegar from Reggio Emilia is all about time and flavour; its ancient origins and secrets are underpinned by slow and meticulous processes requiring patience.
