ORGANIC Crema del Borgo

Our Crema del Borgo is a sweet balsamic vinegar with a creamy texture. Made from freshly pressed Pinot Noir grape juice, it is produced in the style of a genuine Aceto Tradizionale. The grape juice is fermented in two stages, first into red wine and then into vinegar. A slightly cooked grape must of the same variety is added to the young vinegar to give it its typical sweet note. It is then stored in small oak barrels for two months to mature into a mild, harmonious balsamic vinegar.

This fine balsamic vinegar is ideal for making fine salad dressings and sauces. It is also a delicious finish to a classic tomato and mozzarella salad or with goat's cheese.

Traditional production thanks to the mother vinegar

If you discover a cloudy, jelly-like mass in an open bottle of vinegar after a while, it does not mean that the vinegar has gone off. On the contrary, it is a good sign that the vinegar has been produced traditionally and is not pasteurised: A so-called "vinegar mother" forms. This is the name given by experts to the important acetic acid bacteria that convert alcohol into acetic acid with the help of oxygen. When vinegar is opened, these natural helpers may become active again.

Excellent for salads - a classic of Mediterranean cuisine.
