This is a superb quality 12 year old Balsamic vinegar. Casa Rinaldi have been making and maturing Balsamic vinegars at their own acetaia (cellar where vinegar is aged) for several generations.
They won a coveted award called “The Best of the Best,” given only every 20 years, for their Balsamic vinegars in 1998. The Traditional Balsamic of Modena is made from cooked grape must, matured by a long and slow vinegarization process, through natural fermentation ,followed by progressive concentration by ageing in a series of casks made from different types of wood. No spices or flavourings are added.
The flavour of the Traditional White Cap is described as “traditional and inimitable, sweet and sour in perfect proportion.” Just a few drops can be used for garnishing special meat or fish dishes e.g. oysters, or fillet steak, or excellent for bringing out the flavour of strawberries, especially superb with wild strawberries!
Deliciously different on really good vanilla ice-cream!
