Described by our kitchen staff as tasting like “wine-soaked chocolate covered cherries,” Villa Manodori’s Dark Cherry Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP is thick, rich and luxurious. Led by 3-Michelin Star chef, Massimo Bottura, the Italian brand makes their authentic Modena balsamic using wooden barrels and juicy trebbiano wine grapes. In this rendition, the dark cherry balsamic gets its sweet, fruity flavor profile from aging in prized Vignola cherry wood barrels for nine years, which impart notes of the tangy, indulgent fruit in the vinegar. Its thick, viscous consistency and full-bodied flavor make it the perfect candidate for finishing and glazing. It pairs well with game, pork or duck, drizzled over soups, salads and roasted vegetables, or even atop ice cream and cakes.
Made from Trebbiano grapes in the Modena region of Italy, it is cooked down and slowly aged in wood barrels. True Modena balsamic, including Villa Manodori’s version, are government-certified with a “Protected Geographical Indication” to verify the authenticity.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use this for finishing or to glaze game, pork or duck. Drizzle over soup, salads, like our Zucchini Salad with Lemon, Herbs and Ricotta and roasted vegetables, like our Balsamic Roasted Beets and Carrots with Blue Cheese. Or add over ice cream and cakes, like our Ricotta-Semolina Cheesecake.
