Barrel-aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI from Mussini — the 1 Crown is the entry point to the Piazza Grande range. Rich brown, limpid, and smooth with a fresh sweet-sour balance and aromatic notes of cooked must. Versatile enough for both raw and cooked use. Density: 1.1.

£11.50

Piazza Grande is a range from Mussini, one of Modena's most respected balsamic vinegar producers. The 1 Crown sits at the entry point of the range — not a lesser product, but a different one. Where the higher Crowns (3, 5, 7) gain density, sweetness, and syrupy concentration through longer ageing, the 1 Crown is lighter, fresher, and more immediately acidic, with a density of 1.1 and a lively sweet-sour balance that makes it the most versatile of the range for everyday cooking and dressing.

The vinegar is made from cooked grape must — Trebbiano, Lambrusco Grasparossa, and Ancellotta — blended with well-aged wine vinegar and matured in small barrels of precious wood. The colour is a rich, limpid brown. The aroma is pleasantly acetic with sweet notes of must. The flavour is fresh-tasting and well balanced — enough sweetness to distinguish it clearly from a standard wine vinegar, enough acidity to cut through richness and work in dressings and marinades without becoming cloying. This is the balsamic for the kitchen rather than the table — the one you cook with, dress salads with, deglaze pans with, and reach for daily without thinking twice about the cost.

Producer: Piazza Grande is a range from Mussini, one of Modena's leading balsamic producers. The Mussini family has been producing balsamic vinegar in Modena using traditional methods for generations, carefully balancing must and wine vinegar to create products with genuine organoleptic character at every level of the range.

Ingredients: Wine vinegar, cooked grape must (contains sulphites)

Storage: Ambient. Store in a cool, dry place.

Net: 250ml

Allergens: Sulphites

For salads, whisk with extra virgin olive oil at roughly 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. The fresh, lively acidity and gentle sweetness make it an excellent everyday dressing vinegar — works across green salads, tomato salads, grain bowls, and lentils.

For marinades, combine with olive oil, garlic, and herbs to marinate chicken, fish, pork, or vegetables before grilling or roasting. The acidity tenderises gently while the must sweetness adds depth.

For deglazing, add a generous splash to the pan after searing meat or vegetables. The vinegar lifts the fond and reduces into a quick, glossy sauce with a sweet-sour backbone.

For dipping, combine with olive oil and serve with bread. The 1 Crown has enough character to hold its own as a table condiment while being light enough not to dominate.

For vegetables, drizzle over roasted or boiled vegetables — particularly good with beetroot, potatoes, carrots, and peppers.

For cooking, add to stews, braises, and slow-cooked dishes where a background sweet-sour note improves the overall balance. The 1 Crown's lighter density means it integrates easily without making a dish taste overtly of balsamic.
