Traditional balsamic vinegar

Traditional balsamic vinegar (Italian: aceto balsamico tradizionale) is a type of balsamic vinegar produced exclusively in the Italian comuni of Reggio Emilia and Modena, in Emilia-Romagna. Unlike inexpensive Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (BVM), Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (TBV) is produced from cooked grape must, aged at least 12 years, and protected under the European protected designation of origin (PDO) system, fetching higher prices (BVM has lesser protection under the European protected geographical indication (PGI) system). Although the names are similar, TBV and the inexpensive imitation BVM are very different.
