This relative youngster is oh so much more versatile than any balsamic made with wine vinegar, regardless of its age, or price. As they will tell you at La Vecchia Dispensa, creating a young versatile balsamic with the right balance of acidity and sweetness is a true art, the art of blending - without using any wine vinegar of course. Just the right amout of old balsamic with its sweet but complex flavor profile needs to be added to younger,balsamic with its fiesty acidity. That's what they've done with their "Quadrato" - called 10-yr balsamic here in the States to give people a sense of the aged vinegars used in the blending. It has a refreshing level of acidity, despite the fact that it is made solely from cooked grape must. Sweet and sour act in harmony toward a slow, dry finish. This is one of our favorite, all-purpose balsamics - its depth of flavor gives it a versatility that outshines all cheap imitators, and many authentic balsamics as well. Balsamic vinegar takes centre stage in the output of LA VECCHIA DISPENSA since the company considers it the resulting jewel of its labors. It is still made in the traditional way, by fermenting the must of Trebbiano grapes in barrels of costly woods - oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry and juniper - which over the years gradually give the vinegar its inimitable fragrance and flavour. The process continues with simple but clearly defined procedures that must be carried out in exactly the right sequence, at the best times and in the best places. However, skilled vinegar makers have their own secrets, handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. The aging process gives balsamic vinegar the characteristics that make it truly unique. After a certain number of years it becomes denser, loses fluidity and becomes much richer. At this point it should be treated with devotion, and can even be sipped at the end of a meals as an excellent aid to digestion.
