What is Condimento?
The term "condimento" comes from Italian and means seasoning - it is defined as: substances or preparations used in cooking to flavour food, which may be of vegetable origin (herbs, spices, etc.), animal (meat stock, butter) or mineral (salt), sauces of various kinds. In principle, there are also very high-quality condimenti. In our assortment, for example, you will find various "condimenti" once on an olive oil basis (seasoning oil) - with chilli, garlic or turmeric - and on a wine vinegar basis (grape vinegar) with pomegranate, sea buckthorn and chokeberry. Light balsamic vinegar also falls under the category of condimento. Since there are no specifications for light or white balsamic vinegars. Therefore, they are not allowed to call themselves Aceto Balsamico di Modena and have to use the term Condimento.
What is the difference between light balsamic vinegar and Aceto Balsamico?
The difference between them lies not only in their colour and taste, but also in the way they are produced. While Aceto Balsamico is matured in wooden barrels and thus acquires a dark colour and intense aroma, the light Balsamico Bianco retains its typically fruity-fresh aroma and colour by being stored in stainless steel barrels.
What makes a good light Balsamico (Condimento Bianco)?
A good light balsamico is characterised by the place of production (Modena, Emilia-Romagna), the maturing time (at least 9 months) and the fruity fresh taste with a well balanced ratio of sweet versus sour.
