About this episode
There are certain foods that are synonymous with their place names. Parmigianno Reggiano. Kalamata Olives. And the focus of this episode, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. A world-renowned product with a long and fascinating history, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is produced exclusively in the Modena region of Italy. In this episode we sit down (and do a bunch of walking!) with one of Modena's largest and most respected producers of this vigorous vinegar – they've been supplying Trader Joe's for decades – where we learn some history and get a behind-the-scenes look at how it's made. Listen in for a sneak peak at a new TJ's product coming soon to your neighborhood Trader Joe's. Trasncript (PDF)
