A gastronomic dialogue between different worlds and flavors.

On the occasion of Taste 2026, Aceto Balsamico del Duca was among the protagonists of the event “Five Friends… Still Outside of Taste” (It. Cinque Amici… Ancora Fuori di Taste”). An exclusive tasting experience designed to highlight Italian gastronomic excellence and create a meaningful moment of connection between producers and enthusiasts.

As in the previous year, the event brought together five producers united by a shared vision of quality and territory, engaging in a dialogue of flavors built through curated tastings and special pairings. Our Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP played a leading role in a unique menu, alongside other outstanding products: short supply chain tomatoes and cheeses, extra virgin olive oil, and Sicilian Blood Oranges PGI.

We were joined by:

Paolo Petrilli – Azienda Petrilli (Foggia)

Lodovico Giustiniani – Borgoluce (Treviso)

Cristina Bini Smaghi – I Tattoli (Firenze)

Gerardo Diana – Tenuta Serravalle (Catania)

The tasting, reserved for a select group of guests, took place at Gucci Osteria on February 7th, offering an intimate and informal setting to discover unique products and engage directly with the people who create them.

An event that celebrated Italian excellence in food and taste, leaving participants with a lasting memory of authentic, high-quality flavors.
