A unique blend of flavor contrasts- sweet and sharp, spicy and mellow with rich dark color and natural sweetness.

Villa Manodori is a collection in which Chef Massimo Bottura has applied his creative skills to the production of extra virgin olive oil, Essenziale, a collection of oils made from 100% natural plant oils combined with extra virgin olive oil, and an assortment of authentically-crafted balsamic vinegars. Made in the artisanal style and produced in limited quantities, these versatile condiments are enjoyed throughout the world.

Villa Manodori Balsamics are produced in very small quantities by Massimo Bottura, chef and owner of Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena. This artisan aceto is made using exclusively organic Trebbiano grapes that are crushed into a must and aged in a battery of oak, chestnut and juniper barrels. The dark color and rich aroma of the vinegar makes it very versatile.
Cavalli Balsamic Classico Condimento is carefully crafted from grape must aged in barrels of various woods including cherry and juniper. This more affordable balsamic seasoning is popular for using in the preparation of fine foods. It is so named to distinguish it from the more precious Tradizionale Balsamic Vinegar.
Very few producers (if any) can have a batteria made entirely of precious cherry wood. Ciliegio (cherry) is a limited-number bottling from a 20-year travassi barrel of a batteria made entirely of cherry-wood barrels. Do you remember the smell of a freshly baked cherry pie? That is the first image that comes to mind along with freshly picked amarene (sour cherries). Sweet, clean and very aromatic.
Consistancy is compared to a chocolate sauce. Shades of brown with bright mirror refflections. Aromas of grapes, apples and caramel with a well-balanced hint of wild flower honey and maple syrup.
