A passion handed down for four generations.
All started with the birth of our great grandmother Adolfa, in 1890. As gift she received a “Tragn” (a terracotta container, with a broad belly and narrow neck) from her parents.
This was a typical tradition in our area within vinegar “families”.
This “Tragn” represents a real witness, survived through time and vicissitudes, which has passed from mother to son until today.
The “Tragn” is not only an object for us but a real symbol of love toward this unique product.
Francesco Ferrari, grandmother Adolfa's son and proponent of the first expansion of the vinegar factory, used to say that “trust and constancy are vitues of the strong, and balsamic vinegar temper and makes stronger the soul of who loves this product”.

Family portrait
As the vinegar impregnates the staves of the barrels, infiltrating slowly and acquiring the scents and aromas from these, so the passion for the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar slowly crept into our hearts, and here it is, strong and solid still today.
Each family member is actively engaged in the management of the company. We check every aspect of the supply chain, from harvesting to production till bottling.
The Traditional Balsamic Vinegar is what we love and unites our family.
This unique product is a bridge between old and the new generations, that we want to preserve and make accessible to everyone.
Our past and our future through a drop of our precious vinegar.
