Details
Unlike ordinary vinegar which has its origins in an alcoholic liquid, balsamic vinegar is produced directly from grape juice.
Grapes, harvested in the region in which balsamic vinegar is produced, are crushed and their liquid - "must" - is boiled in an open vat over a fire.
This liquid is then placed in high quality wooden barrels in which through an oxidation process, it is transformed into vinegar. The barrels are kept in a vinegar loft - acetaia - where over a number of years, the precious liquid inside is lovingly cared for through a special technique involving transfer and topping up.
