The Grapes Logo
Acetaia Giuseppe Cremonini uses a logo with one to five grape bunches to identify the grades of its Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
This rating system has been designed and is managed in collaboration with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in order to inform consumers in a simple and transparent way about the characteristics of the product and to suggest its ideal use at the table.
Among the different factors that affect the quality and characteristics of the product, density is the most significant: the higher the percentage of grape must used, the thicker and sweeter the final product, and each grade is recommended for different uses according to its specific taste.
Balsamic Vinegars of Modena of Acetaia Giuseppe Cremonini are made using a percentage of grape must ranging from 23% (1 grape grade) up to over 70% (5 grapes grade).
Not only does the number of grapes INDICATE THE QUALITY of the product, but it also determines the BEST type of dish/food TO BE PAIRED with the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
