Balsamic Vinegar with Fig

Giuseppe Giusti – Balsamic Vinegar with Fig

The Giuseppe Giusti Condimento Fico, balsamic vinegar with fig, is based on Aceto Balsamico di Modena 3 Medaglia d'Oro. The condiment is characterized by a rich aroma of sweet figs, a special mildness and a pleasant density of 1.32. This balsamic vinegar with fig is the result of macerating fig purée directly in the balsamic vinegar, then decanting and maturing for several months in barrels. Ideal for fresh cheese, cooked ham and shoulders, sliced beef and beef braised in red wine. It tastes good with mixed leaf salads and rocket salad.

The base, Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico di Modena 3 Medaglia d'Oro, consists exclusively of cooked grape must from late-harvested grapes that were first allowed to dry in the sun, and aged wine vinegar. The Il Denso matured in French oak barrels from 1900 with the addition of already aged balsamic vinegar from batteries of these centuries-old barrels.

Giuseppe Giusti – Balsamic Vinegar

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

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

That is why we offer you the Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico vinegars from the Collezione Storia – the historical range.
