The Province of Modena in Italy has produced Balsamic Vinegars since ancient times. In such times Balsamic Vinegar was considered as a medical balm by the lords, however it is now savoured for it's extraordinary flavour. Traditionally in Modena, Vinegar Culture is made from concentrated "must" from white Trebbiano grapes cooked over an open fire for many hours. n Europe, vinegar cultures are so treasured they are handed down from one generation to another. Vinegar is often taken daily as a health elixir. Peter's unique combination is a blend of cider made from Australian apples and balsamic vinegar, made from a culture or 'mother' originally a gift from a friend, brought with him from his homeland, Modena in Italy.
The Origins of Star Anis Balsamic Vinegars.
The recipes used by Star Anis International were passed from an Italian migrant (from Modena) who used the traditional methods of producing Balsamic Vinegar here in Australia. The mother culture of Star Anis Balsamic Vinegar is over 50 years old.
