Acetaia Leonardi is one of Modena’s most respected family‑run acetaia, with roots dating back to the 19th century. For generations, the Leonardi family has been dedicated to preserving the traditions of true Modena balsamic vinegar while continually exploring refined, contemporary expressions of this iconic Italian product. Their products are made exclusively in Emilia‑Romagna using carefully selected ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship.
Acetaia Leonardi Pomegranate Balsamic Pearls are a modern and elegant interpretation of traditional balsamic vinegar. Created through a natural spherification process, each pearl encases Leonardi’s pomegranate‑infused balsamic vinegar, releasing a burst of sweet‑tart acidity when bitten. The vibrant flavor and striking appearance make these pearls both a culinary accent and a visual statement.
7 – 10 days once opened, keeping it refrigerated.
