Balsamic Vinegar Traditional 12 year old Highest score from The Consortium of Modena From The Balsamic Guy Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale Affinato Better than Balsamic vinaigrette glaze or Balsamic reduction. On Sale Now.

The media could not be loaded.  I truly love Italian food and I just can't get enough of the true authentic artisan made balsamic vinegar. This is my second bottle I bought from The Balsamic Guy and the quality is again outstanding. This particular bottle scored 245 points from the master tasters ratings. That's a very high score for an Affinato, which is the youngest of the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. I understand The Balsamic Guy secures the highest scoring lots from the producers, therefore their quality is always consistently very high.This vinegar is aged 12 years in wooden barrels. Only if it's approved by the consortium of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Producers in Modena, it can be bottled with the DOP certification. It has a slightly more vinegary taste, a wee bit more pungent than its 25 year old version, which makes it ideal for salads, vegetables, especially roasted veggies, and fish, including sushi. I also tried it on vanilla ice cream and berries and it was something really special.Once again, I am extremely pleased with the product and I highly recommend it. if you haven't tried real traditional balsamic vinegar before, this is the one to start with. This is not your inexpensive supermarket balsamic vinegar. I have tried good brands like Belazu and Caramba in the past, but nothing compares to this one. If you are ready to upgrade to superior taste, this is your vinegar. It should be enjoyed as a new culinary experience for everyone who really wants to enhance the flavor of any food, and create an unforgettable meal.

Expensive but fab!

Truly a taste of heaven.

My name is Andrea Galeotto, and I am the Managing Director of the Consortium of the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Producers in Modena, Italy. Our Consortium works hard to promote the authenticity of our product. We try to protect the consumer against fraudulent claims of fake Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. Unfortunately, many companies advertise their products as the real stuff, while it is nothing more than commercially produced vinegar. A simple rule to follow: if the product is not sold in our special 100 ml bottle with our seal on it like the one pictured above, it is not real Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. We at the Consortium, therefore support companies like The Balsamic Guy, LLC that work directly with us to promote the authentic Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

We have visited one of the consortium producers. This is the real product and is like liquid gold. But be careful. Please do not buy fake versions.
