Acetaia ELSA ― Monari Federzoni
Fondo Carrate - Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI
Essence of the Land
Monari Federzoni was founded in 1912 in Modena by Elena Monari, the first woman to officially sell her family’s balsamic vinegar. Across five generations, women have led the company with authenticity, craftsmanship, and sustainable innovation. Today, it proudly holds the Women-Owned Certification from WeConnect International (2024).
Born in the cherished grounds of the family’s agricultural estate, Acetaia Elsa, Fondo Carrate is more than a balsamic; it’s an emotional expression of tradition and terroir. Its density, visible in the persistent “tears” along the glass, testifies to patience and depth. Rich and complex, with sweetly toasted spice notes, it is a sensory masterpiece. Perfect with aged cheeses, cured meats, creamy risottos, tortellini, or even dessert like gelato, Fondo Carrate pairs heritage with culinary elegance.
