Il Borgo – Red Balsamic Vinegar

Red Balsamic Vinegar – Aged Condimento by Il Borgo del Balsamico

The Il Borgo del Balsamico Red Balsamic Vinegar is an aged Condimento Invecchiato Arancio, a long-aged, at least 3-year-old balsamic vinegar. Syrupy in consistency, with subtle, aged aromas and lasting sweetness, it is wonderful with burrata or aged cheese, and ideal for desserts or ripe fruits.

The quality levels of Il Borgo del Balsamico's aged balsamic vinegars are indicated by their color: yellow signifies good everyday quality, orange indicates superior quality, and red represents the pinnacle.

Il Borgo del Balsamico – Balsamic Vinegar from Albinea

Il Borgo del Balsamico is a small, family-run acetaia from the Modena area in the Italian region of Emilia Romagna. Balsamic vinegar is the second great passion of the Crotti family, who were active in the fashion business and combine high quality, excellent taste, and appealing packaging in their vinegar. In Albinea, not far from Modena, the family's old villa houses an ancient vinegar battery in its attic, carefully looked after by Christina Crotti, which produces fabulous Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP.

The Aceto Balsamico di Modena and the Il Condimenti from the Italian vinegar manufacturer come in three aging stages: yellow, orange, and red, with the red being the longest aged. The Tinello Condimenti are excellent everyday vinegars and have slightly more acidity than Aceto Balsamico. Red and white wine vinegars, as well as a white balsamic vinegar and a mild apple cider vinegar, complete Il Borgo del Balsamico's product range.

"The 'Condimento del Borgo' with the orange label is a soft and fragrant condiment. It is made from white and red berry grapes from Emilia Romagna and is the result of must that has been acidified and aged for a long time in oak barrels. This condiment is the alter ego of the more well-known Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, undoubtedly more famous but no less valuable," Christina tells us.

All vinegars from Il Borgo del Balsamico, like this aged Condimento, are produced without preservatives, without added sugar or caramel coloring, and are gluten-free.
