Aged to Perfection Giuseppe Giusti Gran Deposito Riccardo Giusti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is also known as 3 Gold Medals, for the medals it earned at 19th century International Fairs. It also received the 2008 Sofi Gold Medal for Outstanding Vinegar. This extraordinarily rich and thick aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena starts from a selection of the most precious sun-dried grapes, cooked over a low flame. The must of these grapes and aged wine vinegar are placed in antique barrels with aged balsamic vinegar extracted from a series of centuries-old casks. It's recommended as a thick sauce for all foods, ideal for barbecued meats, poultry, fish, and game, and adds an interesting twist to desserts and appetizers. The aroma and flavor recall plum jam, red fruit, honey, and vanilla with a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. Oil & Vinegar Dipping Dish This bread dipping dish will be the highlight of any meal.
