Vinegar comes from the acid fermentation of wine, due to mycoderma aceti bacteria that carry out the chemical action of fermenting ethanol into acetic acid. This recognized vinegar is of Italian origin, specifically from the Emilia-Romagna region and above all from the city which gives it its name -Modena.

It is a vinegar that matures for at least 12 years in barrels of different woods and can even be aged for as long as 40 years.

Its characteristics make it very different from other vinegars, which is why it occupies a privileged place in many homes. It is viscous, with a sweetish taste, a dark bright colour and it has a great aromatic intensity.

It is mainly used in vinaigrettes and only a few drops should be added for dressing salads.
