Barengo's new line of balsamic vinegar of Modena hits market
Mizkan America Inc. is expanding its Barengo line of Italian cooking vinegars with the introduction of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, a portfolio of versatile products offering leaf-certified premium taste and organic options. Barengo’s Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is steeped in 140 years of traditional craftsmanship, ensuring superior quality at competitive prices to satisfy the booming market for balsamic vinegars and glazes. Available in select stores nationwide, Barengo’s aromatic balsamic is dark in color with a syrupy consistency, complemented by sweet, fruity undertones that blend seamlessly to create a gourmet addition to any dish.
“Barengo uses the four-leaf system, a grading criteria certified to classify the different qualities of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. The leaves are categorized by the quality of the grape and the ratio of grape must to wine vinegar. The higher the ratio of grape must, the sweeter the balsamic profile. For example, those categorized under the one-leaf count have the highest level of wine vinegar to grape must that provides a lighter flavor profile, while those classified under the four- leaf category have the highest grade quality, as well as the highest percentage of grape must which produces a sweeter taste and a more syrupy profile,” says Sara Delach, brand manager at Mizkan America Inc. “The four-leaf system allows us to create a diverse portfolio of balsamic vinegars perfect for pairing with any dish.”
