Three condiments. One acetaia. Bronze, Silver, Gold.

The most generous way to discover what real Modena tastes like. Three biodynamic condiments from Acetaia Guerzoni, all 100 ml, all certified organic, presented in a gift-ready Podium selection. From everyday drizzling to special-occasion finishing, this trio covers the full range.

On the palate: light to dark, fresh to deep. Bronze brings bright acidity and aroma to salads and grilled vegetables. Silver, made entirely from Italian organic Lambrusco and Sangiovese grapes, is denser and rounder, perfect for cooked dishes and meats. Gold, the producer's best, balances cooked must and wine vinegar for the most demanding palate, ideal on aged cheese, fruit, gelato and finishing rice or soups.

Acetaia Guerzoni is one of the few Modena acetaie certified both organic and Demeter biodynamic, fed exclusively by grapes from their own vineyards since 1984. Their barrels are arranged according to a planetary scheme inspired by Rudolf Steiner's agricultural philosophy, each wood contributing its own character. This Podium selection is the producer's curated way to taste the spectrum of their work in a single box.

What's inside

🥉 Bronzo (100 ml), cooked must and wine vinegar, refined in 220-liter oak barrels. An everyday condiment, fragrant and colourful, with a round, slightly pungent taste. For salads, raw and cooked vegetables, meat dishes.

🥈 Argento (100 ml), one of Guerzoni's most popular products, made only from Italian organic and biodynamic grapes, mainly Lambrusco and Sangiovese. High density, intense aroma, rounded taste. No colourings, preservatives or additives. Perfect for cooked dishes and meats.

🥇 Oro (100 ml), the producer's best condiment, with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI. The perfect harmonisation of cooked must and wine vinegar for the most demanding palate. For mature cheeses, fruit, gelato, sauces, rice, soups, eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s actually the difference between DOP and IGP balsamic?
Two completely different products that happen to share a name. DOP (PDO) is Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: 100% cooked grape must, aged minimum 12 years in progressively smaller barrels of different woods — oak, chestnut, cherry, juniper. After 25 years it becomes extravecchio. No wine vinegar, no caramel, no additives. Bottled in a specific 100ml ampoule. Used in drops as a finishing condiment — not a cooking ingredient, not a dressing. It’s precious. IGP (PGI) can be sold after as little as 60 days of aging, is typically blended with wine vinegar, may include caramel for color. Good IGP from a serious producer — especially with longer aging — is genuinely excellent for everyday use. Just don’t use a 12-year DOP to dress a salad.
How do I actually use balsamic vinegar?
Rule one: heat destroys aged balsamic. Don’t cook with it. A few drops of DOP over Parmigiano, fresh strawberries, pan-seared duck, or vanilla gelato — that’s where it belongs. Let it work without competition. IGP handles dressings, marinades, and glazes beautifully. The tall squeeze bottle of sweet syrupy stuff that’s everywhere? Usually caramel and cheap wine vinegar. Still useful as a dressing ingredient. But a different product entirely from what we’re talking about.
Organic is good. Biodynamic is better. Here’s the difference.
Organic is the floor: no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, no glyphosate, independently audited. That’s a real standard and it genuinely matters. Biodynamic — certified by Demeter — goes further. The farm operates as a completely closed, self-sustaining ecosystem. No synthetic inputs of any kind. Composting on-site. Active biodiversity management. Crops and livestock integrated. Designed to regenerate, not just to avoid harm. For vinegar producers where the grape must determines the character of a product across 12 or 25 years in wood, the quality of that starting material is not abstract — it’s in everything you eventually taste. Demeter certification is the highest standard for how food is grown. Some of our producers hold it. We’re proud of that.
