Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena Malpighi Extravecchio (25 Anni)

This is the vinegar chosen by the finest gourmet shop in Italy to be sold under its name: Peck. It is also the kind of gift occasionally made by kitchen equipment company Angelo Po. It is so many things.

It is the most exquisite and digestive of caramels. Its greatness is in its balance between sweetness, the first sensation one experiences, and acidity, which appears afterwards, albeit faintly. The integration of the two flavors, combining to make a whole and expressing themselves in succession is another of its amazing virtues. The discrepancy, the distance between the sweetness and sourness, is absent. On the palate it has great density and immense concentration, with notes of raisins, coffee, toast…exceptionally complex. A complexity repeated in the nose, deep and persistent.

Sold in two other agings, of 12 and 50 years.
