1905La Vecchia Dispensa
From the family pantry,
to a few drops at the table.
La Vecchia Dispensa carries a family balsamic tradition in Castelvetro di Modena. The Pelloni and Tintori families have cared for their vinegar house since 1905, opening a small shop in the family building in 1975. Its name recalls the old pantry cabinet used to store their balsamic.
A flavour once kept for the family found its way to guests and other tables. It is a fitting background for a condiment best explored a few drops at a time.

LE CARACTÈRE
A dark drop,
with a sweet-sour finish.
Ricco is a dark condiment best explored in small amounts. A few drops over roasted vegetables or cheese can add a sweet-sour direction while leaving the food in focus. The bottle states 4% acidity; taste the overall balance with food rather than judging it by the number alone.
Grapes and ageing are central to balsamic culture. At the table, start with a few drops on a finished dish instead of making a complicated sauce. With bread and oil, taste separately before finding your preferred combination.

LA TOUCHE FINALE
Ricco beside cheese and bread
The Korean supplier describes it as aged for 18 years, and the bottle states 4% acidity. Its concentrated grape character suits gradual use. Serve beside olive oil and bread, add a little to cheese, or explore a pairing with strawberries or vanilla ice cream.
Ricco is a small addition that changes a plate. Taste the bread, cheese and oil first, then add a few drops to explore another balance of sweetness and acidity.
UN GESTE SIMPLE
A few drops over roast vegetables.
A simple serving idea from BORISSOU PARIS. Add a little, taste and make the meal your own.
Cook beetroot or carrots until tender and plate. Taste the vegetable’s own sweetness first.
Add a few drops of Ricco and taste, keeping the amount small rather than coating the whole plate.
Serve with bread and oil for a simple meal. Adjust any extra seasoning after tasting everything together.
UNE AUTRE ASSIETTE
A few drops beside cheese.
Try a little Ricco with small pieces of cheese, bringing sweet-sour flavour beside savouriness. Begin with one or two drops on a piece and compare.
Ricco is dark in colour. Small, targeted amounts help control both flavour and appearance. Offer bread and oil separately to explore different combinations.
- Taste the cheese on its own first.
- Add drops gradually and notice both colour and flavour.
- Taste Ricco before adding another sweet ingredient.

From a savoury bite to a sweet finish.
A few drops with bread and cheese
Serve aged cheese with baguette or campagne and add a little Ricco to the cheese. Start with a drop and adjust the amount to balance the cheese's saltiness.
To finish roasted vegetables
Plate roasted vegetables and add a few drops. Try it on individual bites before mixing through the whole dish to enjoy each ingredient alongside the condiment.
Alongside fruit and dessert
Try a tiny amount with strawberries or vanilla ice cream. Taste a small bite first and adjust gradually to discover a different side of a familiar dessert.
BON À SAVOIR
Good to know.
Will it change the colour of the food?
Ricco is a dark condiment. Add a few drops at a time to pale dishes to explore both its colour and flavour, or place it on individual bites just before eating.
How should I use it in a salad?
Drain the leaves well, lightly coat with oil, then add a little Ricco. Taste before increasing the sweet-sour accent.
