Acetaia Del Cristo Traditional Extra Aged (Extra Vecchio) Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - 100 ml

1 star for falsely advertising the balsamic as "extra vecchio" when what you're really getting is the 12-year-old "tradizionale" product as seen in the photographs. I easily rate an enthusiastic 5 stars for the brand (Acetaia del Cristo). I just hope that the sellers fix the advertising.

I received a bottle of 12 year aged DOP vinegar with a red cap. The gold cap in the pictures means 25 year aged and the product description says 25 year aged.

If you've never had *real* balsamic reduction, you cannot imagine what it is like. It bears no resemblance to the "balsamic vinegar" you buy in the grocery store for a few extra bucks. This is the condensed essence of what makes those taste special. It is pure, 100% Special.This 25-year reduction is the best balsamic I've ever tasted and the packaging is lovely. I cannot praise this product too highly.
