Delizia Estense
AgroDolce, 2 year
|
| This
is the youngest in a series of vinegars that with age, gain an unbelievable
concentration and complexity. As the older vinegars don't always fit
the everyday salad dressing, this AgroDolce makes a perfect condiment
for fresh vegetables. Due to the unique production process continued
by Sante Bertoni, as practiced for centuries in the hills above Modena,
this AgroDolce beats most commercial competitors with vinegars that
claim 8 years of aging. |

size: 8.5 oz.
price: $12 (plus shipping & handling) |

Delizia Estense
Aceto Balsamico di Modena
|
| Taken
out at an earlier stage of what is later on destined to become Aceto
Tradizionale di Modena, this Aceto Balsamico is a feast for the senses.
When we visited the estate of Sante Bertoni, we were told that in
their village, this vinegar is favored over most pharmaceuticals when
it comes to curing the aches of every day life. We must pretend to
suffer the same pains every day to justify the quick disappearance
of Aceto Balsamico from Sante Bertoni in our own kitchen. |

Delizia Estense
AgroDolce, 10 year
|
| This
is a definite step into the class of dense vinegars. In other old
vinegars from obscure provenance, you often end up with a sticky mouth
reminiscent of candy, whereas here you have fruit and complexity.
That is combined with a sweet component, but perfectly balanced by
the acetic acid. In the process of aging, the vinegar loses volume
through slow evaporation from the cask. Every cask that the vinegar
passes through, therefore, becomes smaller and smaller, and crafted
of a different kind of wood; chestnut, ash, cherry, walnut, juniper,
oak, and mulberry, thus acquiring a multitude of different flavors. |

times with higher respect than the family jewelry. |
