5. TRADITIONAL BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF
MODENA P.D.O. - PRODUCTION PROCESS
T raditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P .D.O. is made from the 'must' (unfermented
juice) of mainly the Trebbiano grape, other grapes used are Lambrusco, San Giovese,
Sauvignon and Sgavetta. Nothing is added to it.
The must is boiled down in open pots on a direct flame: the extract (concentrated juice) from this cooking is
now a fruity syrup. At this point some 'mother‘* of vinegar can be added.
Then it is aged in a series of small barrels made of different kind of woods (chestnut, ash tree, cherry, mul-
berry, juniper and oak) having decreasing volume. Every year the smallest cask of the sequence provides a
few liters of balsamic vinegar, while the reduction due to concentration is compensated for by the addition of
cooked grape-must to the largest cask (taken by the “mother barrel”
- The finished vinegar is then presented to the DOC, a governing
body similar to those that govern the quality of French and Italian
wines, which performs the bottling process.
*'Mother' is a stringy, slimy substance that forms on the surface of the vinegar,
composed of various yeast and bacteria (especially mycoderma aceti) that
cause fermentation in wine and cider, and turn it into acetic acid - vinegar.

10. AMARENA CHERRIES PRODUCTION
PROCESS
A marena is a type of cherry with strong and refreshing taste. It is a sum-
mer fruit that is ripe for picking in July. It contains vitamins A, B1 and C,
minerals and organic substances.
Sour cherries are one of the most famous Toschi’s products. Today, just as sixty-five years ago, only the
very best black Sour cherries are carefully selected, stoned and sweetened. Since 1945, amarena cherries
have been one of the most representative products of the Vignola Company. They are ideal as a garnish
for desserts, cakes and ‘semifreddi’ (ice-cream cakes) or to create very special ice-creams, milkshakes and
water ices.
Washing, storing and control of the amarena and cherries: They are put into baskets to be candied and
boiled; the skin becomes semi-permeable to sugar and to let any remaining sulphur dioxide come out.
Amarena and cherries are stored by diameter (mm), ranging from 16/18, 18/20, 20/24, 22/24. They are
stored in SO2.
The final stage consists in the laboratory analysis of the product and in its packing in food – grade tins.
