Net: 250ml Density: 1.35 Modena, Italy

Barrel-aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI from Mussini — the 7 Crown is the pinnacle of the Piazza Grande PGI range. Syrup-like consistency, dark and glossy with intense notes of precious woods and a lingering bittersweet finish. A finishing vinegar for Parmesan, strawberries, grilled prawns, and Ibérico ham. Density: 1.35.

The 7 Crown is the highest expression of the Piazza Grande PGI range — the most concentrated, the most complex, and the most viscous before stepping up to the DOP tier. The density reaches 1.35, giving it a syrup-like consistency that clings to food and releases its flavour slowly. The colour is a deep, glossy brown with reddish highlights. The aroma is intense — precious woods, cooked must, and a pleasant acetic note that stays in the background rather than biting. The flavour is balanced and well-orchestrated: a rich bittersweet character with a lingering finish that stays on the palate long after the vinegar itself has gone.

It is made following the Mussini family's traditional method: must from selected grapes is fire-cooked directly, then blended with the finest well-aged wine vinegar and matured in small barrels of precious wood. The result is a vinegar that has earned its complexity through time and patience rather than additives or shortcuts. At this density, the 7 Crown is a finishing vinegar — use it sparingly, in drops and drizzles rather than splashes. It is at its best where its character can be tasted directly: over aged Parmesan, fresh strawberries, grilled prawns, a good Ibérico ham, or roasted vegetables. It also makes an excellent dressing for salads when used with restraint, and works beautifully as a digestive in the traditional Modenese manner.

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: Cooked grape must, wine vinegar

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

This is a finishing vinegar — use sparingly, in drops and drizzles. Its concentration and syrupy body mean a little goes a long way.

For Parmesan, break a chunk of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and drizzle a few drops directly over it. One of the simplest and most celebrated pairings in Italian food.

For Ibérico ham, drizzle lightly over sliced jamón. The bittersweet depth of the vinegar and the nutty, savoury fat of the ham complement each other perfectly.

For prawns and shellfish, drizzle over grilled prawns, scallops, or lobster just before serving. The glossy body coats the shellfish and adds a concentrated sweet-sour note.

For strawberries and fresh fruit, drizzle over ripe strawberries, peaches, or figs. The density means it sits on the fruit rather than soaking in, releasing flavour slowly with each bite.

For roasted vegetables, a few drops over roasted beetroot, peppers, or asparagus after plating adds a final layer of complexity.

For salads, use with restraint — a thin drizzle over a dressed salad rather than whisked into the dressing itself. The 7 Crown is too concentrated to work well as a standard vinaigrette base.

For cheese, drizzle over Parmesan, pecorino, aged Manchego, or Stilton. Also works well alongside a cheese board as a standalone condiment.
