Museum of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - Spilamberto, Spilamberto

This has to be one of the most informative tours that I have ever had. To find out how exactly Balsamic Vinegar is made and that it can only come from this ONE region in the entire world is just incredible. The curators at the museum went so far above anything that you could even imagine to answer questions that I had and trust me it was a lot of them. I can not say enough good things about this visit and what information that was given to me. If you are in Modena you need to stop by here for sure!

This little museum is truly amazing. We were so surprised to learn that the barrels we thought were 'props' actually contained traditional balsamic vinegar which was in the process of aging and production. One of the Masters gave us a very informative tour and spent lots of time answering our group's questions. Great to taste the minimum 12 year old traditional Modena vinegar with the 25 year old one. Such fun!
