Prelibato - White Balsamic Vinegar
Acetaia Malpighi “Prelibato” — White Balsamic Condiment, Aged 5 Years (Trebbiano Grapes, Ash-Barrel Aged)
Bright, delicate, and beautifully refined, Acetaia Malpighi Prelibato is a white balsamic condiment crafted exclusively from white Trebbiano grapes grown on the Malpighi family estate in Modena. Aged for five years in ash-wood barrels, this elegant vinegar retains its pale, luminous color and fluid texture while developing a sophisticated, nuanced flavor profile.
Unlike most “white balsamic” products in the U.S. — which often contain caramel color, stabilizers, sugars, or additives — Prelibato is entirely natural, free from artificial coloring, preservatives, or industrial flavoring. Its bright acidity, gentle sweetness, and notes of green apple, pear, and white grape make it one of Italy’s most exceptional light balsamic condiments.
Taycte/MySapori is proud to bring this rare Modenese specialty to the U.S. market, offering an authentic, chef-level ingredient that elevates everything from fruit to seafood.

Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market
Most “white balsamic vinegars” in the U.S. are:
-
colored or bleached
-
artificially sweetened
-
thickened with gums
-
acidified with synthetic additives
-
industrial blends made outside Modena
Malpighi Prelibato is the authentic version, made with:
-
single-origin Trebbiano grapes
-
true barrel aging
-
no artificial color
-
no caramel
-
no preservatives
-
no added sugar
This places Taycte/MySapori among the few U.S. retailers offering real Modenese white balsamic of this quality.

About Acetaia Malpighi
Founded in 1850, Acetaia Malpighi is now run by the fifth generation of the Malpighi family — guardians of Modena’s oldest grape-must traditions. Their philosophy remains unchanged:
“Produce real, genuine, natural vinegar.”
From vineyard → grape must → barrel → bottle, everything happens on the family estate, ensuring complete control, purity, and authenticity. Their craft represents one of the highest expressions of Modenese culinary culture.
