Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar

Unlike the traditional balsamic vinegar producers, Villa Manodori is the brainchild of a Michelin starred chef, Massimo Bottura. Under his skilled tutelage, the company produces traditional balsamic, aged for 10-20 years. It also produces a commercial 'condimento' vinegar, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the balsamic vinegar experience without the huge price. The 'tradizionale' balsamic is rated highly, and can be adapted to a variety of uses. This versatility sees it used in salad dressings and meat glazes, as well as adding a thick and syrupy richness to sweet dishes. The quality of the balsamic is undeniable and it is well worth the premium price. The lesser 'condimento' is also highly regarded, as a versatile and delectable ingredient for many types of cuisine. Villa Manodori is not the cheapest brand, but provides genuine value for the money.
