With this exceptional balsamic we offer you a verifiably caramel color-free authentic product made exclusively in Modena Italy. It is truly artisan crafted to be identical to Traditional Extra Vecchio DOP in both flavor and chemical composition. We have been able to accomplish this by demanding the highest proportion of barrel aged, kettle-cooked grape must in our products crafted in Modena, Italy. The increase in grape must correlates to the increase in total carbohydrates in our balsamic. Our UP Traditional style balsamic is now comprised of over 99% cooked, cask-aged grape must, which has been prepared through a traditional "batteria". This also equates to a higher amount of grape solids in our product. These solids (when measured in total) also include the natural fruit sugar which originates solely from grapes. While the total solids in our products equate to more carbs, the grape solids (when measured in isolation without their natural sugar included) correspond to a high concentration of natural phenols in our products. These phenols are currently being measured at the most proficient balsamic labs in the world, and we are studying their nature with leading scientific experts in Modena, Italy. We know that naturally fermented products such as balsamic vinegar have long been touted as health promoting due to their pro-biotic nature. We also intend to better understand the health implications associated with consuming grape phenols as our products have the highest amount of grape solids measured (minus grape sugar) of any other balsamic product available.
