Traditional Balsamic Vinegar 12 Year Red Label- Product not always available

The Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia Red Label is characterized by good acidity which, after 12 years, has now smoothed out the sharpest edges and which goes well with fairly strong flavours, structured dishes with a fatty tendency.

To be clear, this is REAL AND GUARANTEED aging (as we explain in the product sheet of the Silver and Gold label).
The sensorial analysis of the external tasting commission must assign at least 240 points to the (anonymous) sample.

It is sold, like all Traditional Balsamics, in the official 100 ml DOP bottle called "inverted tulip". In the gift box we find, in addition to the Acetaia minibrochure which explains the differences between any Traditional and the Traditional San Giacomo, a recipe book in the language and, very important, the pouring cap with a blown glass "hood".

To find out how to open the cap without risking breaking it, scan the QR code inside the booklet you will receive, or read below:

1- do not remove the cap by leveraging the neck of the bottle but unscrew it gently.

2- it should not be kept in the refrigerator, on the contrary. It's fine at room temperature.

3- the expiry date practically does not exist, just think that it has been stored for more than 12 years in open barrels placed in attics that are hot in summer and freezing in winter. In practice, in the bottle, it is as if he were on holiday

4 - DO NOT use it in cooking, only RAW. You would ruin 12 years of waiting.

It is tasted by pouring it into a non-metallic teaspoon, preferably plastic or porcelain . The ideal way to capture all the aromas is obtained by pouring a few drops into a wine glass or into our beautiful Olfactory Chambers : tamarind, licorice, dried fruit, dried plum, chocolate, tobacco, vanilla, woods, honey, black cherries, etc. . etc...

Each bottle is different from the others.

Excellent to complete sweet dishes, such as risotto or pumpkin tortelli , or on mature cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or crustaceans/molluscs.
