Defrutum “Affinato” 12-years aged balsamic vinegar PDO will elevate your dishes from ordinary to extraordinary with just one drop. It’s a luxurious finishing touch to canapes, or an indulgent dressing for fresh strawberries. Smooth, rounded and well-balanced, this balsamic is delightful with sweet and savoury dishes alike.

The PDO designation of “Affinato” vinegar shows that it is made according to the strictest traditional Modenese method of balsamic vinegar making. Unlike balsamics with IGP status, no wine vinegar is added while the vinegar matures – it is made purely from aged grape must.

The must is obtained from Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes that are picked by hand, and are softly pressed to extract the juice, or ‘must’. The grape must is slowly cooked until caramelised. The cooking process starts within 24 hours of the grapes being pressed. Any longer, and the must would start to ferment and produce alcohol. Once caramelised, the must is transferred to wooden barrels for aging.

The balsamic vinegar is aged for at least 12 years in barrels of different woods – oak, cherry, chestnut, juniper and ash. This is according to a centuries-old balsamic-making tradition, and plays a large part in giving the vinegar its complex layers of flavour. The barrels are left open to allow evaporation, which is the natural way to concentrate the grape must and intensify the flavours.

The “Affinato” traditional balsamic vinegar includes recipe ideas and serving suggestions.

Officinae Defrutum balsamic vinegars and condiments are made on a family-run farm in Modena, in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region. They are made only with Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes that are grown in the farm’s surrounding vineyards, so the entire production is closed cycle. Emilia-Romagna’s climate of extremes – very hot summers and freezing winters – provides the best conditions for fermenting and maturing balsamic vinegar. The production and ageing methods have been passed down through four generations of balsamic vinegar makers.

Pouring spout with cork stopper included.
