Italy ready to do everything possible to protect authenticity of Modena s balsamic vinegar.
Italy has moved to defend the authenticity of Modena s balsamic vinegar over attempts by Slovenia to standardise its production in a market worth about €1 billion.
The Italian agriculture ministry has written to the European Commission contesting the move by Slovenia whose draft regulations on the classification of vinegar quality has caused alarm in Italy.
