Brand History
Balsamico Bonini came about almost by chance, as many great inventions do. This kind of serendipity, which now carries the name of Fabio Massimo Bonini, came into being just a stone’s throw from Modena, where the veteran actor and owner of Balsamico Bonini was born.
At the end of the 1990s in fine dining circles in Milan, it was Fabio himself who introduced his friends to the real black gold of Modena, a product that is very different from the common Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP found on supermarket shelves. Fabio had come to know the world of Modena’s balsamic vinegar particularly well thanks to a local association created precisely to uphold the tradition of producing this most noble of vinegars.
And from these initial tastings in Milan the first version of Balsamico Bonini came into being, a high-quality culinary experiment, the work of Fabio and a group of close friends who had one goal: excellence. Not being able to count on its own historical production, Balsamico Bonini was perfected following detailed research at numerous acetaie – the traditional workshops that produce and age vinegar – and after a meticulous selection of the local cellars to hand pick already aged and certified barrels. Thus was born an acetaia of modest dimensions, but of an extremely high quality. Testament to this are Balsamico Bonini’s first illustrious clients: Sergio Mei, Heinz Beck, Andrea Berton and many others, who will serve as an important incentive never to let our standards drop.
After years of passion, and an almost playful approach, Fabio Massimo Bonini decided that it was time to grow and increase the partners’ investment. Following a painstaking search the ideal location was identified in which to create what today is the Cascina di Balsamico Bonini. Not to be underestimated in this process is the key contribution made by Fabio’s wife Betty.
Now that the Balsamico Bonini has premises that match the high quality of the product, the next step, and one that is no less important, is to establish commercial relationships based on trust and a shared passion for the very highest quality ingredients. And there could be no better partner on this front than Longino & Cardenal, today perhaps the leading distributor of Italian fine food, to whom we have delegated the exclusive rights to distribution within the Italian national territory.
Today Fabio Massimo Bonini spends ever-longer periods in the United States and around the world seeking commercial partners to distribute a truly unique product. The business, which now also includes a Bed & Breakfast at the Cascina di Balsamico Bonini, is growing thanks to the contribution of a few highly able individuals who over the years have become contributors and ambassadors of what has always been the core message that Balsamico Bonini aims to share in Italy and the world: a unique artisanal product that has earned its reputation as “the top chef’s balsamic vinegar of choice”.
