The history of the de Nigris Company began in 1889, when Armando de Nigris founded the first vinegar works in Naples, Italy. Surrounded by the rural farmlands his whole life, his passion for the earth's bounty made way to the production of vinegar. Armando's success in making and supplying red and white wine vinegars was further expanded when his son, Marcello, joined him and the company began to make balsamic vinegar and sell it to shops and manufacturers. Now passed down to the third generation, this passion continues with their rigorous pursuit of excellence and consistency. We at igourmet are proud to offer these products steeped in such tradition.
With demand for their vinegars increasing, so did their customers thirst for understanding the subtle yet distinct differences between the different grades of Balsamic they produced. Consequently, in 1980, de Nigris adopted a classification system that designates a number, referred to as "Stars" for each quality. Six stars represents mature quality balsamic vinegar, dark in color with a sweet aroma. The flavor is smooth and tangy making it a perfect compliment to extra virgin olive oil in a dressing marinade or sauce.

Comments about De Nigris Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - 6 Stars:
I would compare this 6 star vinegar with a two to three leaf variety. It can be overpowering if you use too much and a little goes a long way.
