Video #3 - Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Part I

You all know Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, right?
But did you know that the stuff you buy in supermarkets in all sorts of different size bottles and with all sorts of labels actually isn't the real thing? Nothing wrong with it, but most balsamic vinegars today are produced on an all together industrial scale and aren't particularly tasty or natural as they are produced chemically. Only a few producers in Modena today produce the real thing, the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena a natural product of great tradition which has been protected by the DOP (protected origin) designation since the year 2000.
We went to visit a small Acetaia in Modena to uncover the mystery once and for all!
I will be posting more parts as I finish editing them.
