Vinegar & Dressings

In 1889, Armando De Nigris founded the small vinegar Company which was passed to his son, Marcello in 1951. Today, the enlarged and modernized De Nigris factory continues to operate as a family run business producing a full line of vinegars including Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Flavoured Vinegar and Wine Vinegar for export. We are proud to present our special line of Italian vinegars featuring our aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Our experience as a family company enables us to bring the Flavors of the past to the pleasure of new cuisine.
For centuries, the vinegar known as "Balsamic" has been considered a pride possession of the Italian people, rarely leaving the homes where it was made. Balsamic Vinegar begins with the crushing of sun-ripened grapes. This grape juice called "must” is concentrated through simmering in copper caldrons over wood fires until it is reduced to about 40% of its original weight. This densely concentrated liquid is placed in wooden barrels of oak, cherry, mulberry, chestnut and juniper for aging. As the years go by some of the liquid in the barrel evaporates and some is absorbed into the wood. Each year the vinegar is transferred into smaller barrels of different woods. This processing and the master Vinegar maker's hands-on experience gives Balsamic Vinegar the delicate flavor of the woods and the sweetness of the sun ripened grapes.
