At the time, Canossa castle was home to a formidable array of barrels used for making balsamic vinegar, even if the castle went down in history for the humiliation of Henry IV, the excommunicated emperor who was left to wait outside the castle, barefoot in the snow, for three days before he was received and pardoned by Pope Gregory VII. The first consortia of vinegar producers started to make their appearance way back in the 12th century at Reggio Emilia and Scandiano, out-and-out assemblies whose members were made to swear they would never reveal the secrets behind this precious elixir to anyone.

El vinagre era empleado principalmente como medicamento en los dolores del parto por Lucrecia Borgia o como remedio farmacéutico para calmar el dolor de garganta, la respiración jadeante, la indigestión, la mordedura de animales venenosos, los desmayos, como cardiotónico e, incluso, como poderoso afrodisíaco.

Le vinaigre était jadis utilisé principalement comme médication pour alléger les douleurs de l’accouchement, comme le fit Lucrèce Borgia, ou comme remède pharmaceutique pour calmer les maux de gorge, les problèmes respiratoires, les indigestions, les morsures d’animaux venimeux, les évanouissements, en tant que cardiotonique et enfin, pourquoi pas, comme puissant aphrodisiaque.
