Giuseppe Giusti Vinegar – Aceto Balsamico, Condimenti, Agrodolce

The history of Giusti, the oldest and most awarded balsamic vinegar producer, dates back to the 16th century. For 17 generations, the traditional methods, recipes, and secrets surrounding Aceto Balsamico vinegar have been passed down. This has led to a unique success story for the Aceto Balsamico family Giusti.

Giuseppe Giusti was one of the first to put into writing, after centuries of oral tradition, the rules for producing a "perfect balsamic vinegar." The text, written in 1863 for the Agricultural Exhibition in Modena, names the choice of grapes, the quality of the wooden barrels, and the aging time as the golden basic ingredients for the best balsamic vinegar. The careful handling of raw materials, the long aging period, and especially the availability of barrels that have been in use in the vinegar factory for centuries are the elements that make Giusti vinegar so special and valuable even today.

That's why we carry the Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico vinegars from the Collezione Storia – the historical range. This selection consists of five Aceto Balsamico di Modena vinegars with different recipes and degrees of aging, created over the years by various generations of the family and awarded with a multitude of medals: featuring the first historical Giusti label, designed at the beginning of the 20th century, classified with the family's great pride, the medals from the World Exhibitions of the late 19th century, bottled in the historical Champagnotta bottle shape.
