Description
Malpighi Prelibato White Balsamic Dressing is a clear Modenese condiment that delivers balanced acidity. It allows cooks to dress delicate dishes without discoloring or staining the visual presentation of ingredients.
Craft & Origin
Acetaia Malpighi filters and centrifuges estate-grown Trebbiano Modenese grapes without boiling to avoid caramelization. The resulting liquid then ages for five years in ash barrels, a specific wood chosen because it transfers no dark pigment or heavy wood tannins to the vinegar.
Flavor & Texture
The profile is distinctly floral with bright green apple notes and a smooth texture.
How to Use
Drizzle directly over raw seafood crudo, fresh summer berries, or bitter salad greens.
Why We Like It
The Caputo family visited Acetaia Malpighi in the late 1990s and forged a lasting relationship, and they started importing their product at that time. While their traditional D.O.P. balsamicos are world-class, this white variation is the unexpected standout for owners Matt and Yelena. They typically reject modern white balsamics created to avoid dark salads, but this floral bottle upends their insistence on tradition.
