Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena D.O.P. Extravecchio is a traditional balsamic vinegar with a protected designation of origin (PDO), made by Acetaia Maria Luigia in San Damaso, just outside Modena. The term Extravecchio indicates that the vinegar has been aged for at least 25 years.

Its sole ingredient is cooked grape must. The vinegar matures in a series of wooden casks known as a batteria. As some of the liquid evaporates during aging, the vinegar gradually concentrates and develops a thick, creamy texture.

It is deep amber in color, with notes of prune and nuts and an aroma reminiscent of incense. Add a few drops to aged cheese, fresh fruit, or chocolate, or taste it on its own by the spoonful.
