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.
