Modena: May 21-30^th,

the 11^th edition of one on the most important outdoor motor kermis came to an end.

A big success was awarded to the re-opening, after 60 years, of a section of what used to be a Modena town course.

This happening was meant to promote Modena not only as a Land of Motors, but also a Land of Tastes and Flavours.

During the fair many initiatives took place in order to support local food products. Among them, it is important to highlight the visit of a European delegation of journalists to Aceto Balsamico Del Duca: that was an unique experience to share the emotion that a visit to the ancient traditional ‘Acetaia’ can give; also a good occasion to get to know the passion that have marked the Grosoli family for 120 years, devoted to the local gastronomic values.

Mr. Dacian Ciolos, European Commissioner for Agricultural Politics, has visited the Consortium for Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and many productive areas of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. European Commission organized several meetings with the most important companies of typical products from ‘Emilia’ Region.

Mr. Ciolos who just succeeded Danish Mrs. Marianne Fische-Boehl in the leadership of the Agricultural Commission in Brussels, visited Parmigiano-Reggiano Consortium. In the very first morning he went to visit a dairy factory to see the milk manufacturing process, in order to see exactly how the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is made.

After a break at the European College of Parma the Commissioner, together with a delegation of Senior Officials, went to visit the productive areas for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and its ‘noble cousin’: the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Since the beginning of his tour in “Del Duca Balsamic Vinegar” Company, Mr. Ciolos was struck by the production methods of these precious vinegars as well as their quality.

The owners of “Del Duca” company, Mrs. Mariangela and Alessandra Grosoli, did the honour of the house with both presidents of the Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and of the Consortium for the Protection  of Modena Traditional Balsamic Vinegar.

The visit ended at the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Museum in Spilamberto. Here took place the meeting with the Institutions and the food tasting of typical Modena specialities, in particular it was served a special dish by the famous chef  Massimo Bottura.

Even this year our company took part to Cibus International Food Trade, which has been held in Parma (Italy)  from May 10th  to 13th. This edition was a success: 60,000 visitors have admired the composition of more than 2500 exhibitors from 55 countries worldwide and represent the innovation and quality of the food sector. We were as always very happy to meet many of you at our booth and organize some tours to our company.
