The Balsamic Vinegar Maker

The Artisans Of Italy With Zak The Baker
Zak the Baker is in the countryside of Modena, Italy, one of only two areas in the world that make a very special kind of balsamic vinegar known as “tradizionale,” dating as far back as the 11th century.

To learn more about this ancient product, Zak visits Giovanni Cuocci of La Lucciola, a farm that not only makes tradizionale balsamic vinegar, but its also a place that is run in an incredibly meaningful way. Cuocci works with young adults diagnosed with down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy.

“The Artisans of Italy” is a Fusion digital series hosted by Zak the Baker, in which he travels across Italy in search of modern-day artisans. From cheesemongers to the makers of balsamic vinegar, prosciutto, and wine, this series is about discovering the craftsmen behind some of our favorite products and finding out how these traditions began.
