After passing a strict test, it is bottled and marked as PDO. The tasters express their evaluation through scores, which are necessary to classify traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena as either refined and aged at least 12 years or very old and aged at least 25 years; these are the only two acknowledged types. Its container must be unique in both shape and capacity: the Giugiaro bottle. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO
