Shared Experience
Your experience

    The experience begins in the heart of Modenese tradition, at Casa Giusti—a charming estate nestled in the countryside, home to the family museum, historic aging barrels, and a tasting room. Here, the Giusti family shares over four centuries of history, unveils the secrets of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, and offers delicious tastings. The meeting point is at 11:00 AM at the Acetaia. At 12:30 PM, we’ll head to my home for a traditional lunch, preceded by a demonstration of handmade tortelloni. The menu, inspired by Giusti Balsamic Vinegar, includes: a starter of tigelle or bruschetta with Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar, ricotta and Parmigiano tortelloni with butter and a few drops of balsamic, artisanal vanilla gelato with a final touch of balsamic vinegar.

    It was a wonderful experience. Between chatting and a glass of Lambrusco, Maria Luisa patiently guided us, teaching us the art of making tortellini. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the art of homemade pasta.

    I went with a friend to Maria Luisa's house to learn how to make tigelle. I really enjoyed the evening, fantastic company! It really feels like being at home, I had never made the dough before but I immediately felt comfortable. After the course, we all ate the tigelle she had prepared that morning, delicious! The tiramisu was also very good. Wonderful cat 😊

    Wonderful evening! Maria Luisa was amazing in preparing everything to perfection and pampering us with so much attention! We learned how to make tigelle and then ate and chatted endlessly. A lovely, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was immediately created among all the participants! We have to do it again! Thank you!!

    Maria Luisa
    Cesarina from 2019Location: Modena (MO)    Languages: Italian and English
    Modena is a city rich in tradition, famous throughout the world for good food and passion for the automotive industry. On its hills, you can see castles, fortresses, towers, and medieval villages, testimonies of its history, in a landscape that satisfies mind and spirit. Luisa spent her childhood in grandmother's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas and flavors of peasant cuisine. Every day she smelled the scent of fresh homemade pasta, tigelle, and crescentine, and it was exactly her grandmother who taught her to 'put your hands in the dough’. Our Cesarina lives closer to the historic center, where she hides a real treasure: the old family vinegar factory, which she loves to show her guests.
