The history of making condiments from grapes dates back 2,500 years to the Middle East region. Later the Greeks and then the Romans introduced the seasonings into their eating habits. There are numerous references to their use in ancient Greece, from Oxymelon and Melas Zomos to the remedies of Hippocrates and the recipes of Deipnosophistae.
A modern version of the old recipe is the Aceto Botanico Adriani, made from selected white grapes from Drama. Their juice produces a concentrated must and wine vinegar, after which aging begins.
.At this point a long stay begins in a series of small barrels called batteries. These include different types of wood in which the Aceto Botanico Adriani matures and thickens, especially during the summer with the help of the high temperatures, while it rests and clears in the winter. The successive passage through each barrel gives it special characteristics such as tannins, aroma, color and density. A small amount of the smallest barrel is bottled each year. The remaining amount is topped up with the contents of the previous barrel until finally the first and largest barrel is filled with fresh aceto.
The precious result of this patient process of filling and thickening is a veritable elixir capable of enhancing and perfecting the flavor of any dish, simple or complex.
