Those great Italian icons all hail from the ancient town of Modena, which lies on the south side of the fertile Po Valley. Just like the French have laid down the law for the name 'Champagne' on sparkling wine, the Italians have declared I.G.P (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) status only be given to the finest Balsamic Vinegar from Modena.

The I.G.P label is the legal stamp of authenticity delivered to regional food products that meet the highest standards. Many are made to recipes perfected over centuries.
