The Leaf system is a new indication of the quality of a Balsamic Vinegar. Whereas the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is reserved for special occasions and can be selected by its degree of aging (12 to 25 years), the legislation does not allow the indication of age for the vinegars we consume on a regular basis, as it is possible to combine vinegars in the process of making from one barrel to another, in order to maintain a consistency within the product.

Vinegar is made by two distinct biological processes, both the result of the action of harmless microorganisms (yeast and “Acetobacter”) that turn sugars (carbohydrates) into acetic acid. Many of our favorite foods involve some type of bacteria in their production – from cheese and yogurt to wine, pickles and chocolate. The first process is called alcoholic fermentation and occurs when yeasts change natural sugars to alcohol under controlled conditions. See similar questions...

Napa Valley Naturals vinegars are unfiltered, so you may find pieces of the "mother" of the vinegar in the bottle. They appear to be globs, strands or sediment in the bottle. They are the harmless bacteria, acetobactor, which turns wine into vinegar. Napa Valley Naturals vinegars are unfiltered and not pasteurized and the mother is a naturally occurring part of the vinegar making process. See similar questions...
