GOURMET NEWS AUGUST 2019 www.gourmetnews.com SFFS WRAP-UP 1 8 For more than 400 years, the Giusti family has been a premier producer of hand- crafted Balsamic Vinegar di Mod- ena. Among their outstanding collection, discover Banda Rossa, winner of five gold medals at each of the World's Fairs from 1885 to 1891. It is their ultimate pride, and truly the fruit of the art that this family has been perpetuating for 17 generations. The aroma of this vinegar is complex and rich with flavors. Dis- tinguishing itself with notes of plum, black cherries and sweet spices, this precious vinegar has been aging in an- tique small casks from the 1700s, provid- ing a subtle fragrance of ancient wood. Banda Rossa is a unique and rare gem as, to create this collection, only a limited quantity is extracted once a year. Packed six units in a case, The French Farm of- fers the cube bottle of this unique vinegar with its gift box.
