Apple vinegar, or other fruit, is produced always in the territory of Valle del Panaro. There are documents, letters, recipes, showing how this ingredient was varied and entrusted to the availability of the climate. Vignola, was once the centre of the hilly area where the inhabitants used to plant grapes, fruit trees such as apples and pears. Today, in fact, the fruit crops of Vignola are the so-called "red fruit” (cherries), but not everyone knows that for many decades the production and marketing of apples was higher than that of cherries and the same vineyard. Besides wine vinegar was then emerging, already in the past centuries, a very special production, the result of weather and climatic conditions of the Modena area, which involved the use of other ingredients, including the juice of apples.
The company Antichi Sapori di Casa Giusti in Vignola, thanks to the passion passed down for generations, was founded with the intent to promote and enhance the apple cider vinegar, niche product of our culture, and obtained from apples. With its fruity taste, the apple cider vinegar, produced in 2001, has finished its maturation this year, so it is ready to face the market. Use? There is no use reasoned and measured, a correct amount to be used on dishes. On food being cooked, the apple cider vinegar should be added just before removing from the fire so that there is enough time to taste and also not to disperse its flavour.
Wanting to go into details, the aged apple cider vinegar is mainly used to flavour meat, boiled meat, grated parmesan, fresh vegetables, baked or fried, carpaccio, salads, desserts, fruit. Furthermore, the apple cider vinegar (the one aged more than eight years) may be used for tasting or drank to end your meal.
