There's nothing quite like this rich balsamic. It's velvety and complex with notes of dark sour cherry that dance on your taste buds, while its aged woodiness keeps it mellow and down to earth.

The Story

When Massimo Bottura isn't cooking masterpieces at his Michelin-starred restaurant Osteria Francescana, he's busy creating luscious olive oils and balsamic vinegar. Each bottle honors its namesake Villa Manodori, a 16th-century estate located in the countryside of Moderna, Italy. Bottura's venture to restore the villa and showcase Modenese culinary traditions is a labor of love that shines in the nuances of these extraordinary selections.

Usage Tips

Try it as a marinade for roasted pork or lamb. Whisk with oil and honey for dressing. Add a few drops as a condiment on risotto.
