Giusti Balsamic Cooking oils & vinegar sku-2739318456

Giusti 2 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP is made in Modena, Italy, from cooked, sun-dried grape must and aged wine vinegar. It matures in oak barrels with balsamic vinegar drawn from older casks; different woods are used during aging. Called "Il Classico," it follows a Giusti family recipe. Giusti has produced balsamic vinegar since 1605, across 17 generations.

The vinegar is deep brown with a glossy, smooth texture and notes of mature fruit, licorice and black pepper, alongside sweet, sour and acidic notes. It can be served with pasta, soft cheese, fresh fruit, fish or white meat, or used in cocktails. Its 2 Gold Medals name refers to awards at 19th-century international fairs, and it is bottled and sealed only after meeting a taste standard.

The listing also suggests pairing it as a gift with Giusti 3 Gold Medals vinegar, white wine vinegar condiment or 25-year-old Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP. Giusti describes its production approach as combining traditional methods with modern sustainability practices. Modena is in northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, between two rivers, where grapes are grown for vinegar and wine.

Other products listed in the Giusti store include balsamic reduction, flavored vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, organic vinegar and foods made with balsamic vinegar. This Cooking oils & vinegar listing contains 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), with 250 ml per bottle. SKU sku-2739318456; UPC 034722993418.
