About this title

Synopsis

Balsamicois not just a recipe book, but also the story of Gloria Midolini's love for an ingredient that has been a part of the history of Italian cuisine for many centuries. Original combinations enhance the very essence of the balsamic vinegar and are used in simple recipes that anyone can recreate. The author's love for balsamic vinegar has been handed down from her family―who, fifty years ago, began an adventure that has resulted in the largest vinegar cellar in the world, in the heart of the fascinating lands of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Balsamico grew from the need for the use of this "magical" ingredient to be made a part of everyday dishes and enjoy sharing this noble and traditional ingredient, dating back to Roman times, with anyone who loves cooking.

About the Authors

With a degree in business administration, Gloria Midolini is a love of art and all that is beautiful. With two children, Angelica and Ludovico, and an intense life between Friuli and Bologna, Gloria is always traveling and looking out for new business opportunities for her family. Therefore, the task of inventing a new future for balsamic vinegar activity has fallen to her. The passion that she has inherited from her father for this enterprise, together with her real love of cooking, has brought her to look closer at recipes prepared with balsamic vinegar and experiment with ever more original combinations. Gloria has innovated the use of this dressing, transforming balsamic vinegar from a simple finishing touch to an all-around useful ingredient, demonstrating how to use a high-quality product in the creation of dishes that are simple and yet, at the same time, extremely refined.

Stefano Scatà (b. 1956 in Pordenone) earned an arts degree from Bologna University before becoming a photographer in 1984, working for the leading Italian and international magazines. He specializes in travel photojournalism, paying particular attention to lifestyle. A great food lover, he soon came into contact with the world of food and everything in its orbit. The resulting books, in which the eye of the camera captures the soul of its subject with great simplicity, are characterized by great enthusiasm and freshness.
