According to gourmetfoodstore.com, an Aceto Balsamico or Balsamic Vinegar, is a protected denomination. This means that only a few suppliers have earned the right to that label, and authentic Aceto Balsamico must come from one of two different regions in Italy: Modena or Reggio Emilia. From that, a cornucopia of flavors may arise, with one similarity: all of them grow finer as they age, as a fine Italian wine.

Obtained through the traditional long-aging process originated in Modena, Italy, Balsamic Vinegar Of Modena is dark and rich, made from specially selected grapes that are reduced to a must (all the elements of the grapes before fermentation has occurred), and fermented for a year, and left to mature for 10 years in special wooden casks.
