Modena IGP
If you are tired of balsamic that runs off your plate like water, this is the bottle you want. Fondo Dotata comes from a specific plot of land in Solara where the grapes are naturally sweeter. This is not a thin vinegar. It is a thick reduction that stays exactly where you pour it. The texture is syrupy because the water has been aged out in wood barrels. Our team at the Staten Island store handles the packing to make sure these glass bottles reach you in one piece.
Product Details & Quality
What makes Fondo Dotata different? This selection is thicker and more concentrated than the Carrate bottling. It is made specifically for finishing a dish rather than for cooking or making basic dressings.
Ingredients: Only cooked grape must and wine vinegar. No added sugar or thickeners are used. The density comes entirely from the natural reduction of the grapes in wood casks.
Texture: It has a syrupy viscosity that grabs the food and coats the back of a spoon. You will see a deep mahogany color and a smooth, velvet body.
Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, dark pantry. There is no need to refrigerate balsamic after opening because it is a natural preservative.
Shipping: Every order is packed securely to prevent breakage during transit. This bottle ships free on its own.
Francesco’s Tip
This belongs on a cheese board. Do not cook with a vinegar of this quality. Save the cheap stuff for the salad and use this when you want the balsamic to be the star. Drizzle it over aged Parmigiano Reggiano or fresh vanilla bean gelato. Because of the density, it stays on top of the food and lingers on the palate.
