Product Description
About the producer: Although the company is young, the Acetaia of Ancient San Giacomo in Reggio-Emilia was old with barrels of the black gold already in excess of 50 years when it began its commercial life a few years ago. Papa Carl Bezzecchi began producing balsamic condimento in the early 60s with three batteries. He eventually had to expand to satisfy the increasing demand of knowing friends. The acetaia was moved in the 80s to accommodate the need for this growing capacity. In the mid 90s the work of maintaining the acetaia and producing its noble liquid was taken over by son Andrea, a lawyer by trade, including another barrel-by-barrel move to the attic of his own modern house. It wasn't until the late 90s that Andrea was convinced to use his precious patrimony to produce Balsamic Tradizionale. The long years of work, a true labor of love, for Andrea was rewarded by three certifications, Red for 12 years of aging, Silver for 18 years, and Gold for 25 years. This is a true cottage industry with extremely limited production.
