Product Description

A classic of the Giusti range, the 6 year old Giuseppe Giusti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 1 Silver Medal is characterised by a rich perfume and an agreeable and rounded acidity. With its intensity, it enhances the flavors of any dish. It can be used fresh or can be heated in cooking preparations.

This is a superb balsamic vinegar. The Giusti secret is in the meticulous selection of the  grapes, their cooking system and above all, the complexity of the ageing process. The Giusti family have some of the oldest wood ageing barrels in Modena, passed down through the  generations. This is what produces the unique flavour and complex essence they are famous for.

About the Producer

Founded in 1605 in Modena, the “Gran Deposito Aceto Balsamico Giuseppe Giusti” is the oldest balsamic vinegar producer in the world. In 1863, during the Modena Agrarian Exhibition, Giuseppe Giusti established and put into writing what are still considered the golden rules for obtaining the “perfect balsamic vinegar of Modena”: the selection of grapes, the quality of the casks, and – of course – the time . This passage represented a turning point in the history of the product: the balsamic vinegar of Modena was no longer a family secret; it became a well-known ambassador of the Modena culinary tradition.

During the Belle Époque Acetaia Giusti became famous throughout Europe, thanks to the World Expos, where the Giusti balsamic vinegar of Modena was awarded with 14 gold medals – still depicted on the products’ labels – and in 1929 it became the official supplier of the Royal House of Savoy, by choice of King Vittorio Emanuele III.

Today the historic a cetaia is run with passion and innovative enthusiasm by the 17th generation of the family : Claudio Stefani Giusti proudly continues a business born over 400 years ago.
