Among vineyards and ancient vinegar factories, the history of the Malpighi family is told in a book that pays homage to the city of Modena.

The story of the Malpighi family, owners of the Tenuta del Cigno farm, told in a book that celebrates the city of Modena and Balsamic Vinegar.

The book entitled “ ACETAIA MALPIGHI Artisans of Made in Italy ”, just published by the Malpighi family, founders and owners of our Tenuta del Cigno agricultural company , is a tribute to the city of Modena , to grandmother Maria and to the previous generations who made the history of this ancient vinegar factory possible, which has become an international company.

This volume celebrates two masterpieces of Modena craftsmanship, both made with the must of grapes from our vineyards: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP , of which the company is the largest producer, and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP . You'll find details on the production methods, with references to the two Consortia that regulate their protection, advice on how to use them, and many other immediately accessible and easy-to-understand information. The goal is, first and foremost, to raise awareness of the world of Balsamic Vinegar and to provide enthusiasts with an additional tool for interpreting and appreciating these two great excellences, made in Modena and known throughout the world.

Delicious and Flavorful: the first condiments based on Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI

In the book, the company then introduces the two Condiments that in Malpighi's production are alongside the excellent IGP and DOP products, always made with the must obtained from the grapes of our vineyards: Delicious e Tasty.

• Delicious, the first White Condiment obtained from white Trebbiano Modenese grapes from the family vineyards, designed to bring transversality and innovation to the world of balsamic vinegar by exploring new pairings (with fish, river and seafood dishes, with fresh and candied fruit, edible flower salads, Greek salad, caviar, cocktails and drinks). An Umami product, with an intense flavour, difficult to categorise into the four classics we are all accustomed to: neither sweet, nor salty, neither bitter nor sour, but incredibly full and tasty.
• Tasty, a product in demand all over the world, celebrated in its first 20 years with a dedicated limited edition box set; the first Dark Condiment obtained from cooked must of Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes from the family vineyards. A “mid-range” product, a soft and full-bodied condiment that in some characteristics is similar to the two excellent products that inspired it, the DOP and the IGP, but whose use and consumption in the kitchen is certainly less exclusive and more "carefree".
