Le Terre del Balsamico
Le Terre del Balsamico is a project that brings together the Protection Consortia of Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP under a shared vision.
An initiative created to tell the story of, celebrate and promote Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP around the world, along with their region, culture and the people who make them unique.
Why “di Modena”?
There are places that simply cannot be replicated. The Lands of Balsamic Vinegar are one of them.
Only here do time, a unique microclimate, artisanal expertise and the passion of local producers come together to create a heritage that goes beyond gastronomy, belonging to the history and culture of Italy itself.
Modena, the historic capital of the ancient Duchy of Modena and Reggio Emilia under the House of Este, is the birthplace of Black Gold in its two distinctive forms: Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP. Two distinct designations, yet deeply united by the same roots, the same production culture and a region unlike any other in the world, recognised and protected by the European Union.
Choosing a product “di Modena” means immersing yourself in a story of identity, tradition and innovation, where every drop of Black Gold tells the story of a land that continues to preserve and pass down one of the most authentic expressions of Made in Italy excellence.

Since 2002, Acetaie Aperte has been the grand celebration of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP and Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP, an annual event that opens the doors of Modena’s vinegar cellars on the last Sunday of September.
