Our land has gifted us a treasure: black gold

The history and culture
of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

A gift for emperors, spoils for conquerors, and a dowry: balsamic vinegar tells the story of the land of Modena and the people who have preserved its value for centuries. Its origins date back to ancient times: the Romans used cooked grape must as a medicine, sweetener and condiment…

Tradition

An elixir that has reached every social stratum, a true cultural ritual that is jealously safeguarded in the attics of almost all families.

Territory

Modena and its region are in the heart of Emilia Romagna: here, the climate, land and air humidity have resulted in a rare marriage of unique elements, to be discovered one after the other.

PDO & PGI protection

An inimitable product; a condiment whose production and commercial characteristics are strictly regulated, and which over the years has obtained three seals of quality.

Leaves system

Four simple qualitative categories allow you to recognise the product that is most suited to every need at a glance. Every dish has its Vinegar.

The perfect balance between tradition and innovation

Acetum

Our story of quality and tradition begins in Motta di Cavezzo, in the heart of Emilia, in the historic location that ties its name to the land where it was built in 1906: the Motta cellars.
Today, the same passion has allowed us to become leaders in the sector.

History and founders

Acetum was born out of the meeting between Cesare Mazzetti and Marco Bombarda; over the years, our growth has been constant, thanks to our strength, determination and passion.

We have received the legacy of our land, and we preserve it with care and experience; we select our raw materials carefully and attentively check every stage of production.
