Pure Balsamic
without Vinegar

Fermented, unblended Balsamic.

Acetaia San Giacomo is the only one that, since its inception, has produced only and exclusively pure Balsamic without added vinegar.

Balsamic made 100% from cooked must; from fresh local organic grapes, not from concentrate.

METHOD is prioritized, more important, than Origin and Aging.

Raw Vinegars

Pure Vinegar without water

Vinegar Vinegar, the old-fashioned kind.

Made by the slowest acetic fermentation ever and taking, at least, 9 months just to turn into vinegar.

Never diluted with water, pure, powerful and fragrant.

Still the Method, the very long acetification in static, as a priority.
