The maker

La Famiglia

La Famiglia is an Italian specialty range built around the old farmhouse condiments of the Modena countryside. Saba (also called vincotto or mosto cotto) predates balsamic vinegar itself: freshly pressed grape must is slow-cooked down for many hours into a dark, glossy syrup, a method handed down through generations of Emilian families.
