"Classic" balsamic vinegar
With is characteristically "caramel" color, Benso balsamic vinegar IGP from Modena is made from a blend of Lambrusco grape varieties and Trebbiano IGP from organic farming.
No added sugar, no caramel coloring, whether natural or artificial, is used in the production of Benso balsamic vinegar IGP of Modena. It is simply aged in oak, cherry and mulberry barrels!
White balsamic vinegar
This very little colored vinegar (hence its name white vinegar) takes its color from the fact that the stems, seeds and skins are removed from the must.
Without tannin, white balsamic vinegar offers greater delicacy and sweetness on the palate. This is why it goes well with more delicate dishes such as scallops and fish.
Creams of balsamic vinegar
Creams are made from heated balsamic vinegar . This operation produces a thicker product with a more pronounced taste.
Conventionally used to decorate plates or dishes, balsamic creams are also used to season salads and raw vegetables and can also be used in the composition of certain desserts.
