Since the seventeenth century, the Giusti family has been producing Balsamic Vinegar, passing down a recipe that creates a complex harmony of flavors and a product of excellence, appreciated all over the world.
Creating an exceptional balsamic vinegar depends on the competence, experience, attention to detail and the lengthy period of aging. Proud of a know-how which has been refined over its 400 years family history, Giusti combines both its respect for tradition with a sense of local corporate responsibility and a modern and sustainable production philosophy.
More than four centuries have passed since the ancestors of the Giusti family initiated the first series of balsamic vinegar barrels in Modena. Today, after 17 generations, Claudio, Francesca and Luciano continue with dedication and enthusiasm to produce and distribute this extraordinary product, which has contributed to the great history of Modena and its people.
The secret of giusti balsamic vinegar
The secret of balsamic has always been hidden in the wood of the ancient casks where it ages. It takes decades, if not centuries, for wood and grape must to become the black gold of Modena. The Giusti family owns over 600 casks dating back to the 1700s and 1800s, from which the purest extractions are obtained, responsible for the unmistakable Giusti aroma.
