THE GIUSTI RECIPE
Following centuries of simple oral tradition, Giuseppe Giusti was among the first to write down the rules for obtaining a “perfect Balsamic Vinegar”. His text, written down in 1863 on the occasion of the Modena Agricultural Fair, teaches that the choice of grapes, the quality of the casks, and time are the fundamental ingredients. The quality of the raw materials, the long aging time required, and above all the availability of casks that have been aging Balsamic Vinegar for centuries already are the elements that still make Giusti Balsamic Vinegar so precious.
