The Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO Extravecchio is made exclusively from cooked must of typical grapes and rests for at least 25 years in sets of small barrels of different woods. It is not born out of commercial needs: it is part of a family’s dowry and heritage. The Malagoli family also preserves this legacy: Daniele began out of passion, thinking of his daughters Sofia and Taisia.

It is tasted only raw: just a few drops are enough to elevate both iconic and contemporary dishes.

Recommended pairings: aged Parmigiano Reggiano, creamy risottos, fine meats, foie gras, strawberries and ice cream; extraordinary on tortellini in Parmigiano Reggiano cream.

In the section “Ricette con Sofia” (“Cooking with Sofia”) you’ll find suggestions and pairings to best enhance it.

The package includes: a bottle of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar PDO, a cork and glass dropper cap, a bilingual booklet, and a white ceramic tasting spoon. Everything is hand-packaged and sealed with Italian double-satin ribbon.
