Even before it became an official designation, protecting Aceto Balsamico di Modena was a shared choice.<\/p>\n

It was a choice made by producers who, since 1993, the year the Consortium was founded, have joined forces to protect the identity of a product deeply rooted in its local area and guide it toward recognition as a PGI<\/strong>, Protected Geographical Indication.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1994<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The application for registration was submitted the following year.<\/p>\n

This marked the beginning of a long journey, built on determination, dialog with institutions, and a clear vision: to enhance the value of Aceto Balsamico di Modena while safeguarding the authenticity that makes it recognizable with every taste.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1998<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1998, the Consortium adopted its first set of regulations<\/strong>. Its members committed to following precise production procedures and methods to protect consumers, ensuring that they could be confident they were purchasing certified Aceto Balsamico di Modena, while also guaranteeing a higher level of product quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

2009<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After years of dedicated work, on July 3, 2009, the European authorities approved the application <\/strong>for registration, and Aceto Balsamico di Modena was granted PGI status. But that achievement was not the end of the journey. It was the beginning of a new responsibility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 2014, the Consortium was formally recognized<\/strong> by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry as the Consorzio di Tutela dell\u2019IGP Aceto Balsamico di Modena<\/strong>, assuming public responsibilities for promoting, defending, and protecting the product in Italy and around the world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
