Strawberry Compote with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Made with ripe strawberries and authentic Aceto Balsamico di Modena I.G.P., this elegant compote balances bright berry sweetness with the rich, nuanced acidity of traditional balsamic vinegar. The result is a luscious preserve with layers of fruity, tangy, and subtly caramelized flavor, offering far more complexity than a traditional fruit spread.

Delicious with fresh and aged cheeses, it pairs especially well with Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, goat cheese, and creamy triple creams. It also makes a sophisticated accompaniment to charcuterie, roasted meats, yogurt, cheesecake, vanilla ice cream, and pastries, or can be spooned over toast and biscuits for an elevated breakfast.

Founded by Paola Calciolari in Mantova, Casa Forcello creates artisan condiments inspired by traditional family recipes and the exceptional ingredients of Northern Italy. By combining locally sourced fruit with time-honored techniques, the company crafts distinctive preserves and condiments that celebrate the region's rich culinary heritage.
