For over three generations our family has dedicated itself to the production of vinegar with passion and knowledge, in the tireless search for the best possible quality product.
The founding of the De Nigris Vinegar Factory by Armando and Marcello.
The founding of the De Nigris Vinegar Factory by Armando and Marcello.
A story which began more than 120 years ago, when Armando De Nigris opened the first vinegar mill in Naples, immediately proving to be a great success with his clients.
This success was consolidated over the years to follow, when the running of the company passed to his son Marcello, who succeeded in launching De Nigris’s products onto the international market and in widening the product range to include the prestigious Balsamic vinegar.
A spirit of innovation that, thanks to the third generation of Master Vinegar Makers, still guides us today and allows us to offer our clients products of excellence, which are appreciated world-wide for their quality and creativity.

Territory and Production
Modena Italy is one of the nine provinces of Emilia-Romagna, located in Northeastern Italy’s fertile Po River Valley. Not only is it the home of Verdi, Pavarotti, Lamborghini and Ferrari, it’s also the crown jewel of Italian Gastronomy. This is the birth place of tortellini, Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, mortadella and of course Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
A blend of wine vinegar and concentrated grape must from 7 regional varieties of grape (Lambrusco, Trebbiano, Sangiovese, Ancelotta, Fortana, Montuni and Albana), Balsamic Vinegar of Modena has been produced in Modena since the Middle Ages and appreciated during the Renaissance.
