Giuseppe Giusti

The name Giuseppe Giusti is renowned in the world of Balsamic Vinegar. Their story goes back to 1605 when we see the first official documentation of the Giusti family’s commercial activity where they were noted for the production and retail of Modenese products including Lambrusco, fine sausages, and – importantly for us - balsamic vinegar. During the Espsizione Agaria, a trade fair in Modena that took place in 1863, the first recipe for balsamic vinegar was documented and Giuseppe Giusti wrote his golden rules on how to create the perfect balsamic vinegar: perfect grapes, vessels and time. This is still known as the Giusti Recipe.

During the 19^th and early 20^th centuries the Giusti family transported their vinegar to tradeshows across Europe with huge success, collecting many prestigious medals. It is these medals that adorn the front labels of their bottles to this day.  In 1929 the company was named as suppliers to the Royal House of Savoy by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy.

Speeding forward to the present day, Giusti is now led by Claudio Stefani Giusti, from the 17^th generation of the family, who has turned this small family company into a world-wide Italian brand.
