The Rinaldi family has been producing traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena for several generations. The family owns a prestigious "acetaia" (i.e. the place where the vinegar is aged) complete with XVI and XVII century barrels, which are still used today. The true secret of a good balsamic vinegar lies in the aging process, which must never be rushed. The deliciousness of the final product depends on that unique aroma which only comes with a masterful aging process. In 1990 the Rinaldis were awarded the "best of the best" prize for traditional balsamic vinegar, a coveted award only given once every twenty years. The passion and patience acquired by the Casa Rinaldi family over several generations working in the production of balsamic vinegar, has established the foundation needed to expand their product line while maintaining their high standards for excellence. One of their more recent expansions is a line they named Vizi & Virtu (Vices & Virtues). One of the Vizi & Virtu products is Vellutata (Velvety) di fragola & balsamico, Strawberry and Balsamic Spread.

In Provence jam-making is such an established tradition that it punctuates the year as surely as the seasons. Every summer, one cannot escape, almost on a weekly basis, walking into a kitchen under the frenzied supervision of a master jam-maker-the lady of the house, her mother-in-law, or perhaps her 10 year old daughter. Fresh fruits from the orchard occupy the whole kitchen table, overflowing from saucers and baskets, while pots boil on the flame, their magic mixture giving off tantalizing aromas. Meanwhile, an army of glass jars stand at attention, waiting to accept the burning hot jam from the pots, before being stowed away on a high and secret shelf, concealed from three-foot tall gourmets. Their recipes often combine traditional flavors, such as orange, with one or several rarer ingredients, such as lemon and grapefruit; which subtly enhance the jams and confer to them their unique properties. The relaxed sophistication and tradition of the Provencal kitchen comes alive in this flavorful Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit Jam. Each jar contains 9.9 ounces net weight of Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit Jam by Life in Provence from France.
