MEET THE BALSAMIC

The do-it-all bottle in our balsamic lineup

Our Aged balsamic is Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I., labeled Aceto Balsamico di Modena I.G.P. By law, P.G.I. balsamic is made in Modena and Reggio Emilia from grape must and wine vinegar and rests in wood for at least 60 days.

We call it our 4 Seal. The Consortium Profile badge on Modena balsamic uses five circles, running from tangy to sweet, to show how dense and sweet a vinegar is. It's a taste guide, not a quality ranking, and this bottle sits between our 3 Seal and 5 Seal.

In practice, that means one bottle for most jobs: whisk it into a dressing, roast with it or drizzle it over cheese. For a thicker finishing drizzle, step up to the 5 Seal Superior.

Your 4 Seal balsamic questions, answered

How is the 4 Seal different from the 3 and 5 Seal?

It sits in the middle. The 3 Seal is lighter and tangier, for everyday cooking. The 5 Seal is the densest and sweetest, for finishing. The 4 Seal does a bit of both.

What do the seals mean?

Our bottles carry the Consortium Profile badge from the Consortium for the Protection of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. It has a row of five circles between tangy and sweet. More filled circles means a denser, sweeter, fuller-bodied vinegar, based on lab measurements of density and dry extract. The Consortium says it is a guide to taste, not a ranking of quality.

What does P.G.I. (I.G.P.) mean for balsamic vinegar?

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.G.I. must be made in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia from grape must and wine vinegar, and aged in wooden containers for at least 60 days. The rules allow up to 2% caramel for color and nothing else may be added.

Is it good for cooking or for drizzling?

Both. Use it in dressings, marinades and roasting, or drizzle it over cheese, fruit and grilled meats.

How big is the bottle?

8.5 fl oz (250 ml).

Can I send it as a gift?

Absolutely. Build an oil & vinegar box or a jam & antipasti collection on our Gifts page, and add a free handwritten note.
