Mazzetti L'Originale Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is made following the rules of the Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, which provides a selection of the ingredients and controls of all production phases.
Mazzetti L'Originale embraced the philosophy of AIB (the Italian Balsamic Tasters Association) which foresee a classification of products in four quality categories, based both on sensory and chemical analysis, applied to the entire production of each manufacturer, and assigns a variable number of vine leaves (one through four) to each product in relation to its characteristics. Each bottle carries the 'leaves' on a special colored strip which is printed on its label: a simple and clear indication which tells consumers the quality level of product they are going to buy.
This is a four leaf balsamic vinegar, superbly lush and intense. Syrupy with complex flavors and heady aroma. Suggested for exclusive recipes, strawberries, ice-cream and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
In a characteristic 250 ML (8.5 fl oz) square bottle, closed with sealing-wax and in a elegant box makes the perfect gift.
