In June, “La Vecchia Dispensa” obtained important international recognition by winning four prizes at the first edition of the USI Vinegar Competition, an American competition that rewards the best vinegars available in the United States and represents an event of great importance for the sector. Our vinegar factory stood out in the Balsamic Vinegar category, taking the podium with three of our flagship products.
The USI Vinegar Competition: a Competition of Unprecedented Excellence
The USI Vinegar Competition is a prestigious competition that brings together over 100 international products and brands, all subjected to the judgment of a commission of industry experts, including importers and vinegar specialists. The competition is divided into various categories based on the types of vinegar: as vinegar producers, we obviously participated in the Balsamic Vinegar category, distinguishing ourselves for the quality of our products.
Our Achievements
Double Gold for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Black Pearl”
Our Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Black Pearl” has obtained the highest recognition in the category with a Double Gold. An award of excellence, judged by the entire commission, which reconfirms the superiority of a product capable of individually representing the essence of Italian tradition and quality. “Black Pearl” is in fact a refined balsamic vinegar, characterized by a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with intense aromatic notes of wood and a mature aftertaste that make it unique in its kind.
Gold for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Red Label”
The second gold was awarded to our “Red Label” Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP. This product stands out for its intensity and complexity, the result of a careful selection of musts and a long aging process. Anyone who has tried it knows: “Red Label” is ideal for pairing with cold dishes and raw vegetables, as well as for creating highly refined gastronomic combinations.
Bronze Medal for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Bronze Label“
It seems like a play on words, but it isn’t: our Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Bronze Label” also received recognition, winning… the bronze medal! Our little gem of flavour, made unique by resting in juniper wood (which many avoid because it is considered “difficult”), is one of the most particular products of our classic collection in terms of structure and is particularly recommended to whet gourmet palates, always looking for new gastronomic experiences.
Award for The Best Producer from Italy
Last but not least, in addition to the individual awards for our vinegars, “La Vecchia Dispensa” was awarded the title of the best producer of Balsamic Vinegar of the year from Italy. This recognition underlines the commitment and dedication with which we work to always offer only the highest quality products, respecting traditions and enhancing the territory.
