Saba (mosto cotto) — cooked Trebbiano and Lambrusco grape must reduced to approximately 60% of original volume by slow cooking. The traditional Modenese sweet condiment that predates balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients: cooked grape must only. No added sugar, caramel coloring, or thickeners. Emilia-Romagna. Grape varieties stated. No acidity regulators.
Same Mussini producer.
Saba is a legally distinct product from Balsamic Vinegar of Modena — it contains no acetic acid and undergoes no vinegar fermentation. Label accurately describes it as a condiment, not a vinegar. The product is not sweetened beyond the natural concentration of grape must through evaporation.
