Villa Manodori Balsamic Vinegar is created by Massimo Bottura, Chef of Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, where this treasured vinegar is made in extremely limited quantities. Villa Manodori is made with locally grown trebbiano grapes, which are aged in oak, chestnut and juniper barrels after being reduced into must. Villa Manodori's dark color and rich and complex flavor reflect the tradition and care that goes into every bottle. This balsamic is a company favorite and is very versatile.It is unbelievable in salad dressings, on cheeses and grilled vegetables, great when bread is dipped into it and even fantastic with fresh strawberries.
