Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: the excellence

Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena (Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena) is known and appreciated all over the world as one of the many Italian delicacies.

The origins of the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena seem to go back to the time of the Romans who, camped in Modenese territory, left open some barrels of must, causing the birth by chance of the Traditional Balsamic.

The Acetaia Malpighi also tells us that in the “Vita Mathildis” (1046), biography of the Countess Matilde di Canossa, describes the meeting of Matilda di Canossa’s father with the Emperor of Germany Enrico II, who asked him to give him some “That precious vinegar I had heard made there perfectly”.

It is still the tradition of many Modenese families to produce Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena on their own. The traditional bottles where Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is produced and preserved for decades for personal use and to make a pleasant and exclusive gift to family and friends are handed down for generations.

Some families, in the millennia, have passed on the secrets of the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. One in particular, however: the family Malpighi, descendant of Marcello Malpighi, well-known 17th century physician author of the “De lingua”, a treatise on the sense of taste.

And it is precisely between popular wisdom and medical studies that the Acetaia Malpighi sinks its roots, born in the 19th century and led for 5 generations to the present day. Today, the passion of a family has become a solid business reality.

The tradition, the deep knowledge of the processes of transformation of the must made that not for all the production of balsamic vinegar was only a family matter, but that it became a real mission, a job, an investment. And so the search for excellence, the continuous improvement of the product, the analysis of the processes allowed some factories to become the jewel of the Modenese and Italian gastronomic tradition, known and appreciated all over the world for its precious product, that is born and becomes more and more complex with the slow passage of time.

Acetaia Malpighi chooses RCM and ASSMO

For optimal cleaning of the various locations, both production and reception, for many years Acetaia Malpighi has been using an old model of floor scrubber (RCM model GO), making use of the ASSMO rental and assistance service.

This is why, in addition to the rigor required of a food industry, by virtue of the wholesomeness of the product, the Acetaia requires extreme attention to hygiene also due to the need to produce and at the same time welcome. This kind of attention has made it possible to find a link for several years with RCM, manufacturer of floor washers, and ASSMO, rental of RCM cleaning machines in the Modena area.
