Balsamico Vinegar

Vinegar is a food which exists in every household. But did you know that vinegar is also one of the healthiest foods we know? It has a positive effect on our gut and digestion; it detoxifies, disinfects and is even able to lower a fever.

By the way: It was common to give vinegar as a dowry in marriages in noble families during the medieval age.

Vinegar comes in many different types, of cider vinegar and wine vinegar up to the Balsamico vinegar. The Aceto Balsamico die Modena doubtlessly counts to one of the top quality brands.
One of the leading providers of the dark delicacy is the company FINI.

The FINI gourmet store was first founded in the heart of Modena by Mr. Telesforo in 1912.  Its name and products are not only in Italy, but are famous and appreciated all over the world.

FINI produces its particularly Balsamico Vinegar specialities in the heart of Modena, Italy.
The 4 Leaves Balsamico Vinegars characterize itself through unique taste, its pasty consistency and through an intoxicating aroma.

It is made from the juice of sweet Italian grapes. Fattoria Estense only uses high quality Trebbiano grapes from the Modena province. During the maturation of the Aceto, it moves through different wood barrels such as oak, chestnut, cherry or juniper. Depending on the maturing period, the quality of the vinegar will increase, and with FINI, it gets all the time it needs - the longer the Aceto is stored in wooden casks, the denser, sweeter, thicker and more complex the taste will be.

Young Aceto Balsamicos are perfect for marinating, for salads and antipasti. The elder ones have little acid and are of a thick consistency. They are mainly used for desserts and cheese.
