QUALITY AND TRADITION

Your Italian condiment experts

Since 1899, we have been indulging our passion for producing balsamic vinegar and other premium products with harmonious, balanced flavours.

All our products are created with genuine Italian know-how wisdom passed down through generations. The result is the unique, world-renowned taste of Modena.

Our work is supported by three basic values that make the difference:

Quality

Tradition

Traceability

First and second generations

Farming

In the early 19th century, a love of the land and Italian tradition inspired the Ortalli family to farm the family estates in Reggio Emilia and Modena. They started by tending their vineyards before branching out into crops important to the Mediterranean culture and diet, such as durum wheat.

Craft production

The third generation Ortalli was still a family business, fuelled by passion and a love for our products. So in 1899, we took a leap forward and started producing a local Modena speciality; traditional balsamic vinegar.

Third generation

Fourth generation

Industrialisation

The fourth generation, led by Andrea Ortalli, industrialised the production process to take the brand to global markets.

We built our first vinegar plant in 1998, switching from craft processes to industrial vinegar production. Then, after a significant bounce-back and to meet global demand, in 2013, we built a new plant, combining time-honoured wisdom with modern production methods. Surrounded by our best vineyards, it is now one of Modena’s most authentic facilities.

We joined the Borges group in 2016, which was an important step to consolidate our worldwide presence.

Throughout its history, Ortalli production processes have always been based on authentic Italian tradition and know-how to preserve the brand’s essence.
