Carandini of Modena Balsamic Vinegar

The Carandini family is held in high esteem amongst the great Modena balsamic producers, tracing its noble lineage back to 1700. In recent years, the family have embraced to the 21st century, incorporating a modern production line alongside the traditional attics, vastly increasing the global potential of the brand. Such innovation has enabled Carandini to diversify, and offer other balsamic vinegar based products alongside its fine, 'tradizionale,' vinegars. This circumvents the strict quotas imposed by the guild in Modena, and allows anyone to sample the unique balsamic taste. The company produces a fine Crema di Balsamico and a three year old balsamic, both keenly priced for everyday use. These well-received products are sold alongside the mature 'tradizionales,' which are aged for up to 104 years. The vast bulk of the Carandini family's business comes from outside Italy; the company really combines its ancient heritage, with modern technology, to great advantage.
