A few drops transform everything they touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePDO Extra-Aged is the strictest designation in European food law. To carry it, this vinegar must be made in Modena from local cooked grape must, aged a minimum of 25 years in a battery of progressively smaller barrels, and approved batch-by-batch by the official Modena Tasting Commission. Guerzoni adds two more layers of rarity, the barrels are arranged in a biodynamic planetary scheme across nine different woods, and the entire estate is certified both organic and Demeter biodynamic. Most balsamic on supermarket shelves is industrial wine vinegar with caramel coloring. This is the real thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; font-size: 0.95em; margin-top: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.4em;\"\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePDO Extra-Aged certified, minimum 25 years of barrel aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged in nine different woods for layered complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified organic and Demeter biodynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved batch-by-batch by Modena's official Tasting Commission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn heirloom in a bottle, gift-worthy at any occasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; font-size: 0.95em; margin-top: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.4em;\"\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA few drops over aged Parmigiano Reggiano, the classic Modenese pairing, nothing else needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrizzle over fresh strawberries or vanilla gelato for a dessert of extraordinary simplicity and elegance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish roasted vegetables, grilled meats or seared foie gras with a single thread poured from height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA drop on a spoon, tasted alone, is the traditional way connoisseurs evaluate a great balsamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse sparingly, this is not a cooking vinegar but a finishing condiment, a little goes a very long way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; font-size: 0.95em; margin-top: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.4em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 ml (3.4 fl oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e organic Demeter cooked grape must, organic Demeter wine vinegar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e minimum 25 years in a battery of nine different woods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e PDO Extra-Aged, Organic, Demeter Biodynamic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproval:\u003c\/strong\u003e approved batch-by-batch by the Modena Tasting Commission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.2em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌱 Organic | 🥬 Vegan | 🍇 PDO Extra-Aged | 🌿 Demeter Biodynamic | ✓ Certified Organic | ✓ 25+ Years Aged | ✓ Nine Woods | ✓ No additives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; font-size: 0.95em; margin-top: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.4em;\"\u003eThe Biodynamic Barrel Battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry:\u003c\/strong\u003e imparts sweetness and a fruity, slightly tart character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcacia:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds delicate floral notes and a soft, vanilla-like sweetness without overpowering the natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulberry:\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes deep color, richness and a distinctive fruity-balsamic character unique to Modena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsh:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds mineral and slightly bitter notes that balance the natural sweetness and add structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak:\u003c\/strong\u003e the classic aging wood, contributing tannins, structure and the signature dark color of aged balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuniper:\u003c\/strong\u003e the final, smallest barrel, adding a resinous, aromatic complexity that is the hallmark of the finest traditional balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Guerzoni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51906099118417,"sku":"BAEDUSA","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/8898\/3889\/files\/Aceto_Balsamico_di_Modena_IGP_Extra_Vecchio_-_Guerzoni_TERRA_SACRA_01_2858_66cd4303-41bc-46d1-9cfa-6ea54fb9f90c.jpg?v=1762509169","url":"https:\/\/theterrasacra.com\/products\/balsamic-vinegar-modena-pdo-extra-aged","provider":"Terra Sacra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
