Aged Balsamic Goccia D'Oro

Goccia D'Oro translates to drop of gold.... Every drop is very special.  

The grapes are hand harvested by the Cavedoni family every fall in Modena, Italy.  The harvested grapes are carefully crushed and slowly cooked at a low temperature for many hours.  The cooked grapes are then aged in oak, maple, and chestnut barrels for a minimum of nine years until it is bottled.  The result is a very dense, sweet, and lovely dark vinegar.  Some describe this as a perfect combination of sweet and sour.  Pair the Goccia D'Oro with aged cheeses, cured meats, strawberries, melon and vanilla ice cream.  Aged a minimum of 9 years
