One of the most beautiful scenes that spring offers us is the cherry blossom: these trees, sometimes of considerable size, are covered with white and scented flowers, appearing as clouds that make the air more gentle and sweet.
In this period, in many areas of the world, the rebirth of the cherry tree is celebrated, especially in Japan where the cherry blossom is celebrated as a real festival: symbol of fragility, beauty and rebirth, in all city parks, from Tokyo to Kyoto you do “Hanami”, that means ” to admire flowers” to enjoy this immense spectacle of nature and above all, to learn from it, meditating.
Anche l’aceto balsamico come l’Hanami racchiude in sé un importante insegnamento: saper crescere lentamente, coltivando la pazienza come virtù. (dal libro Il Balsamico, L’oro nero di Modena. Articoli Editore 1899)
Even the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is like Hanami, because it contains an important teaching: knowing how to grow slowly, cultivating patience as a virtue (from the book Il Balsamico, L’oro nero di Modena. Articoli Editore 1899)
Awakened by the sweet perfume of cherry trees and the spectacle of flowering, it is our duty to tell you about our cherry wooden barrels, where the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO is aged for at least 12 years or more than 25 years, under the attics of Acetaia del Cristo.
THE LONG AGING IN CHERRY WOODEN BARRELS
“I would like to do with you what spring does with cherry trees”
We like to imagine that these words were said by our parents when around the 80s they decided to start what was the first single-wood aging. In fact, it was only with time that it has been realized that during aging in cherry wood barrels, the traditional balsamic vinegar takes on the characteristics of the wood in which it was contained, enhancing different shades of flavor.
We can certainly say that it was cherry the progenitor of our single-wooden Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, born after the visit of a famous American chef who, tasting the Balsamic vinegar directly from the barrels, while tasting the infusion contained in the cherry vats, shouted: Amazing!
Thus began, for our predecessors, the journey to discover this wood, studying its essence, resistance to time, the ability to thicken and to give aromatic characteristics to the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, arriving over time to create entire batteries of and mother barrels in cherry wood in order to obtain a true and unique selection.
