DOP and IGP

Two designations, one territory. Discover the characteristics and distinctive qualities of Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP.

The two geographical indications

Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP are two authentic expressions of a craft that has been passed down through generations. Originating from the same region and a shared production culture, they differ in their raw ingredients, production methods, ageing times and organoleptic characteristics.

Both are protected by the European Union through its Geographical Indication quality schemes, which guarantee their origin, authenticity and deep-rooted connection to the local area. Two distinct yet complementary designations, united by a centuries-old tradition and a wealth of knowledge that continues to be passed down through the generations.
