Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar Artigianale image

(based on 5 ratings)

Located in: Oil/Vinegar, Balsamic Vinegar

Villa Manodori balsamicos are produced in very small quantities by Massimo Bottura, chef and owner of Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena. Villa Manodori Artigianale is crafted from the must of locally grown trebbiano grapes and aged red wine vinegar. It is matured for 10 to 20+ years in small barrels of oak, chestnut and juniper woods, yielding a balsamic of dark rich color, intense aroma and syrupy consistency. It incredibly intensifies the flavors of 22 month Grana Padano and grilled meats, yet is still sweet enough to drizzle over strawberries or ice cream. This exquisite specialty item ships in a beautiful white gift box.

Great drizzled over chunks of old Parmigiano Reggiano. Not too syrupy, with tremendous flavor. Good with bruschetta, too.

Comments about Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar Artigianale:

I discovered this vinegar several years ago and it really does not compare to any other balsamic I had before. A little goes a long way. Fantastic over summer tomatoes.

Comments about Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar Artigianale:

Turns summer tomatoes and mozzarella into a gourmet delicacy! Very full flavored - works well drizzled over steak or grilled chicken. Well worth the price.

Comments about Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar Artigianale:

I tried this accidentally and became hooked. It is so rich and flavorful that I use it alone on salad (without oil). It may seem outrageous to pay such a high price for vinegar, but I guarantee this is unlike any balsamic you'll find in a regular market. It is thick and syrupy, sweet and rich. I bought two bottles while it was on sale!

Excellent!
