Compagnia del Montale is a family‑run acetaia based in the heart of Modena, where authentic balsamic vinegar has been produced for centuries. The Montale family carries forward generations of Modenese vinegar‑making tradition, crafting both Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP. Made exclusively from locally grown Lambrusco and Trebbiano grape must, their balsamic vinegars are aged patiently in wooden barrels with no additives, caramel coloring, or shortcuts. The result is a collection of balsamics prized for balance, depth, and purity—expressions that reflect Modena’s terroir and the Montale family’s commitment to time‑honored craftsmanship.
These white balsamic pearls from Compagnia del Montale are crafted in Modena, Italy using white grape must and white wine vinegar. Through delicate spherification, they form small, ivory‑colored pearls with a liquid center that gently bursts on the palate.
