Artisan Feature: Acetaia La Bonissima |
|
 Last year, Amelia went to Italy in search of culinary delights for the Market. Luckily, one of her stops was near Modena, at the beautiful farmhouse of Franco and Donatella Di Pietro.
When you buy balsamic vinegar from artisan producers like
the Di Pietro's at
Acetaia La Bonissima, you are tasting history. Each drop comes from the work of many hands and the pride and passion of generations.
At Acetaia La Bonissima, they create strictly regulated Balsamic Vinegar Tradizionale in four different ages, which are made only from trebbiano grapes: the Yellow Ribbon, which is 15 years old; the White, 30; the Green, 50; and the Gold Ribbon, which is 80 years old! All bottles are 100 ml and prices range from $125-$500 p/bottle! It is a very labor-intensive, slow and low yield process, which puts the price into perspective. Read more about the process on our blog...
Thankfully, the Di Pietro's also produce a Blue Label, Balsamic Vinegar di Modena. It is premium quality, made from an assortment of grape varieties & a fraction of the price of the Tradizionale. We feel fortunate to have discovered this gem, which you will see online and at the Market. It is well-balanced between sweetness & acidity, agreeable & dark. The Blue Label has been aged 60+ days and serves as an exceptional balsamic vinegar for table use.
"When you enjoy my vinegar, you are honoring generations of my family," Donatella told Amelia, as she toured their home and facility. That passion was incentive enough for us to offer their products to you.
