Amazon.com Product Description

Produced in the Alto Adige region of Italy and made from pure chestnut honey vinified into wine and then vinegar, Reiterer Acetorium vinegar has a nutty and light floral flavor with a delicate sweetness. It's delightful in creamed soups or on roasted squash, or to highlight root vegetables and sweet salads.

Josef Reiterer
Hand-crafted by esteemed sparkling winemaker Josef Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer, precision-aged Acetorium vinegars exhibit the best of both northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Instead of using flavor infusions, they judiciously select the basic ingredients for each vinegar. For example, Acetorium Barolo, Chianti, and Pinot Grigio vinegars are made from quality wines. Acetorium balsamic apple vinegar is barrel-aged for several months in order to concentrate its aromas slowly and promote gradual evaporation, while Acetorium fruit vinegars are carefully aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the intensity of their flavors. All Acetorium vinegars have an extraordinary depth of flavor, with complete flavor harmony and acid balance.

Ron and Ilyse in Italy

Ron Post and Ilyse Rathet of Ritrovo
For six years, Ritrovo founders Ron Post and Ilyse Rathet lived in Italy, studying, traveling, and researching indigenous foods and wines. Along the way, they met and gradually built relationships with talented, small-scale producers throughout the country. Ilyse and Ron also developed a passion for the products they found. These foods came to "tell a story"-- of centuries-old traditions, the value of diversity, and the implications of supporting small farm production.

It is out of this passion that Ritrovo Italian Regional Foods LLC was created. Years later, the founders continue their passionate search for new producers and products. They bring these discoveries directly to you, "from farm to table."

Upon tasting a Ritrovo import selection you immediately discover high quality and authenticity. Ritrovo's focused, fresh flavors evoke images of special places and preserved culinary traditions. In total, Ritrovo imports over 150 such discoveries from the length and breadth of Italy. The selections featured on Amazon.com are a showcase of the delicious discoveries Ritrovo has made.

The word Ritrovo denotes a reunion or "gathering again" of friends, family, or colleagues. In regional parlances such as Tuscan or northeastern Friulian, a ritrovo is a place where people come to eat, drink, and be merry. Additionally, the verb ritrovare means "to find again" something once lost. These three concepts weave into what Ritrovo is all about: High quality food and relaxed, socially-based dining are fundamental to human life.
