The acetaia along the banks of the river Secchia in the province of Modena, Italy, makes a traditional bitter-sweet, dark brown and velvety smooth balsamic often characterized as the best in the world. The vinegar is moved into progressively smaller capacity casks of oak, chestnut, cherry, ash, mulberry, locust and juniper over the course of many, many years before being decanting and packaged in the Leonardi’s beautiful bottles and boxes. Sprinkled over Parmesan cheese, with olive oil on a salad, or used to season grilled meats or strawberries, you will appreciate the years it takes to get this incredibly complex flavor. | | | Features: | |

 Not worth the priceOct 26, 2011
By Magdalena
I bought this balsamic vinegar to try it, since I have previously bought the Gold version from the same company (La Piana Gold Quality Aged Balsamic Vinegar PGI) and loved it. This one does not come anywhere near the quality of the Gold. It is closer to the pricier balsamics from Trader Joe's (which are around $5 instead of $20) than to a nice balsamic. The Silver is fairly sour, the sweetness barely comes through. As for viscosity, it's very thin - if you're looking for the more syrupy kind of balsamic, this is not it.
Given the small increase in price, it is completely worth it to go ahead and buy the Gold and not waste your time and money trying the Silver.
 Okay, but less than expectedOct 18, 2011

I am not an expert in balsamic vinegar, but this one could have been anything. The bottle was not marked in any way, so have no idea if the vinegar is the real thing. I would not order again.
