Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP “Affinato” – Aged 12 years

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP is a fine product whose qualities are recognized all over the world. It is possible to produce Balsamic Vinegar DOP only in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia, due to the unique climatic and territorial characteristics, as well as the thousand-year-old tradition of this product. 

The process that gives birth to the Rubini family’s Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP aged a minimum of 12 years is fascinating and exciting. As per the production regulations, the main grapes from which the must that will be cooked is obtained are Lambrusco and Trebbiano; the nectar obtained is then left to age in barrels of different woods and sizes: each wood will give a particular characteristic to the final product, which is decanted from larger barrels into progressively smaller ones as the years go by. 

This Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP from the Rubini family ages in the family vinegar cellar for at least 12 years, during which time it reaches definite and penetrating aromas, accompanied by a flavor that is hard to describe in terms of goodness.

At the table, it is the most you can ask from life when paired with strawberries and aged cheeses; just a few drops, together with a good Italian extra virgin olive oil, manage to transform a simple salad into an unforgettable gastronomic experience. Phenomenal also with roasted or boiled meat.
If you love good Italian food, you absolutely must try this traditional Emilian specialty from the Rubini family.

Making food our medicine is possible, but only if we know the exact origin of the raw material and the processing methods: we at Gustatium have thought about this for you, selecting the best small Italian producers and making them available to you on our site.

SHIPPING

We are aware that for excellence products need excellence packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the time of shipment and at the same time protect the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
