“Emilia Romantica” this is the title that a Dutch magazine specialising in wine and food tourism in Italy, in search of unexplored places, gave to its article and this month it talks about us with beautiful photos of the The Borgo del Balsamico and of Cristina Crotti.
Here is a brief summary of the article:
The Borgo of Balsamic: where the real magic of Balsamic Vinegar is born
On a trip to Modena, an unmissable stop is The Borgo del Balsamico, where the welcoming and charismatic Cristina Crotti guides visitors through the discovery of his family vinegar works. Founded by his father about 40 years ago, this company has been able to stand out in the balsamic vinegar scene thanks to an innovative visual identity: brightly coloured labels - yellow, orange and red - suggesting different uses in the kitchen.
During the visit, Cristina reveals the traditional production process, showing the barrels stored in the attic, where the balsamic vinegar matures by absorbing the aromas of the different woods. Some of these casks hold vinegar from over 25 yearslight years away from commercial supermarket products.
A place where passion for the real Traditional Balsamic Vinegar comes to life and where one understands the care and time required to create a product of excellence.
