Modena | Saba ( Mosto Cotto )
 
From the typical grapes varieties of the Modena area, you will not only get the lambrusco and the famous balsamic vinegar but also the Saba, a typical product of the local country tradition. 
It is a specialty of ancient origins. Saba is obtained by a long and slow cooking of the grape must, for this reason it is also known as cooked must which is also the raw material for the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO. 
Saba is a thick syrup of dark brown color, with a sweet flavor and a very pleasant scent.
The farmers used to use a lot Saba, both for the homemade desserts that to give more flavor to simple dishes such as polenta or dipping other dishes such as fried dumplings. It also seems that the cooked must could serve to "govern weak wines" by giving flavor, sugar, color to wines without these features.

Matchings:
Saba is impressive on matured and flavored cheeses. It is a good condiment for salads as well as a sweet topping for vanilla ice cream and fior di latte ice cream. During the summer time, we suggest to prepare a tasteful refreshing drink by simply blending Saba with some water. While if poured on a glass full of snow, it used to represent an unexpected granita for children.
