A great tasting organic balsamic with a distinct sweet
and sour flavour made with only certified organic grapes. Our
producer - Gran Deposito Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti We
hope that you enjoy our selection of Balsamic Vinegars. We wanted
to bring you the best quality prize winning vinegar at great prices
and to be able to assure you that you won't find any mention of
extracts, sugars, preservatives or colourings on our labels. There
are many brands and types of so-called balsamic vinegar, most are
cheap and artificially coloured and thickened. The real, mouth
wateringly good ones are a little more expensive, thanks to the
superior production method and lengthy ageing process undertaken,
and are a world apart from their imposters. Our producer is
Giuseppe Giusti in Modena. Seventeen generations of his family have
been producing high quality balsamic vinegar since 1605 and have
won numerous prizes (including 14 Gold Medals) over the centuries.
They were the authors of the first documented recipe for the
production of Balsamic Vinegar and are the custodians of the most
extraordinary existing cask reserve, composed of invaluable century
old barrels. Giuseppe Giusti and his family select good quality
Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes and slowly reduce the grape juice in
copper kettles until it is thick, dark and sweet. No caramel is
added to sweeten and colour it - this is the industrial way to
mimic age. Giusti do not reduce by speedy pressurisation either, as
do many industrial producers of balsamic. Giusti add only good
quality wine vinegar to the cooked grape must, and then age it in
traditional barrels of various woods - juniper, cherry, oak, ash,
and mulberry. Each wood infuses the balsamic with its own unique
flavour and aroma. The family have over 1000 barrels in use - 600
of which are over 200 years old. Many industrial producers have
only a few barrels and large, stainless steel silos.
