Description
HISTORY:
The mango tree, Mangifera Indica, is native to South Asia, by Eastern India. The fruit is referenced as far back as 4,000 BC in Hindu writings. Buddhist monks even cultivated the fruit and considered it to be sacred. During the 16th century the sea faring Portuguese introduced the mango to Africa, who then took their tasty cargo to Brazil in the 1700s. It reached Mexico in the early 19th century and finally reached the United States in 1860. Today, it is the most widely consumed fruit in the world; no doubt for its sweet and creamy taste with over 20 vitamins and minerals.
INGREDIENTS:
This pure balsamic vinegar is flavored with all natural, simple and limited ingredients. It is PGI certified which means that it was made using the same methods, that date as far back as the 11th century in Emilia-Romagna Italy. These methods, commemorated in time and history are far superior to that of our mass produced counterparts and is among the finest of traditionally made balsamic vinegars. To follow the time honored tradition of superior craftsmanship, all of our balsamic vinegars are made with fresh freeze-dried fruits and vegetables; not preservative laden purees, juices or unnatural chemical extracts. The absence of water will ensure that it ages smoothly and more importantly, that it will taste even better as it ages and lock in the nutritional benefits! The ingredients in our Modena PGI Mighty Mango Balsamic Vinegar are balsamic vinegar of Modena PGI and freeze-dried mangoes.
VACUUM BLENDED:
Every step of the way, we make sure to provide superior quality, to ensure we provide a healthy, quality product. We add our ingredients through the brand new and superior method of vacuum blending. Normally, blending in fruit or vegetables would cause oxidation. When you leave an apple out and exposed, it turns brown. This is oxidation. Oxygen much like water, can not only cause fruit to rapidly expire without preservatives, but neutralizes the antioxidant activity. As our fruits are freeze-dried, expiration is not a concern, but we did want to make sure our superior nutritional profile was not hampered by oxidation. Vacuum blending also provides a profoundly more fresh and flavorful taste.
