What we represent
Our History: A Tradition of Excellence Since 1598
1598: The Birth of a Culinary Icon
1598 is more than just a number in our logo—it marks Modena’s rise as the capital of the Duchy of Modena under Duke Cesare d’Este. This period also saw the rise of a taste that would define the region for centuries: Balsamic Vinegar.
Centuries of Italian Culinary Mastery
With the Este family’s influence, Modena became a hub of gastronomic excellence, supplying European royal courts with its sought-after delicacies. Over time, Modena became synonymous with authentic Italian indulgence—a legacy that Modena Estense proudly upholds today.
