The Malagolis and their team
A dad’s hobby turned into a business by his daughter
This is the story of a family that loves traditions and life in the countryside. Daniele Malagoli is a Civil Hydraulic Engineer who had an illustrious career in the construction industry for over 40 years. However, he has always loved the simplicity of rural life and he lives by the values that have been passed down to him by his forefathers. As the son of peasants, he never lost the bond with the land that he passed on to his daughters, Sofia and Taisia.
His wife, Barbara, comes from a family of hoteliers. Barbara’s grandmother Emma, opened a restaurant in the 1930s, so Barbara and her children naturally inherited a love of hospitality and fine food.
However, Sofia, Daniele and Barbara’s eldest daughter and the heart and soul of Acetaia Malagoli Daniele actually went on to study Civil Engineering at the University of Bologna, just like her father. Eventually, during her time at university the pull of family traditions became so strong that she decided to turn her father’s hobby for Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Modena DOP into a business venture.

Thus the Acetaia Malagoli Daniele was born, which today involves the whole family. In addition to the production of this black gold, the family-run business has diversified into: hosting tourists in their newly-opened B&B, finding new business opportunities, organizing tasting events, selling high-end products like Sofia Luxury Chocolates, Lucilla Anti-Aging Facial Cream, and the book “Il Balsamico, l’Oro Nero di Modena” and offering guided tours to people from far and wide.
The Malagoli family has also welcomed interns from abroad to learn about these traditions. This cultural exchange has ensured that the Acetaia is a dynamic, international environment.
The team at Acetaia Malagoli is very close-knit and this strong relationship allows them to grow every day and become stronger together. Welcoming tourists and sharing their passion for this centuries-old product with visitors who come from every corner of the world is their life’s work.
