Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Quercia Argento IGP, 250ml

Quercia Argento has a good balance between sour and sweet. It is made of a cooked grape must mixture and wine vinegar. It is then sharpened in durmast barrels, which are created with a European oak that is valued especially for its dark, heavy, tough elastic wood. Our Quercia Argento has a long shelf life of 10 years because the pH and sugary concentration are natural obstacles to the development of unwanted bacteria.

Perfect on salads, raw vegetables, meats, cheeses, and a variety of other foods.
