Description Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP Il Denso
The Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP Il Denso from the vinegar manufactory Casa Mussini in Modena in Emilia Romagna is a balsamic vinegar made from cooked grape must and wine vinegar. Its color is dark and shiny, the taste fruity-sweet and sour, reminiscent of plums and vanilla.
The abbreviation IGP stands for "Protected Geographical Indication" (Indicazione Geografica Protetta).
The special feature of this balsamic lies in its impressive density, hence also called "Il Denso," which translates to "the density." The density leads to the thick, syrup-like consistency.
The magazine "Der Feinschmecker" awarded this balsamic vinegar from the Mussini house 2nd place in 2021 and again in 2023 among a variety of top products from the Modena region.
About the manufacturer
The Mussini family has been creating balsamic vinegars for generations. According to family history, it was Guido Mussini, born around 1885, who founded the tradition of balsamic vinegar. The first barrels for vinegar aging were purchased at the beginning of 1909. Over several decades, Guido and his wife Cesira developed their own knowledge and methods but limited sales only to relatives. The two world wars initially interrupted further development. After the Second World War, production could then be further expanded.
The successors of Guido and Cesira, however, pursued different career paths, and according to local customs, the vinegar barrels with the maturing vinegars were divided among them as inheritance. It was only around the turn of the millennium that Giorgio and Gabriele Mussini brought as many as possible back together and founded the present-day Acetaia Mussini. Meanwhile, Mussini balsamics are sold in many countries.
