Yes, definitely pass by if you can! If you have time, it's near a lot of balsamic vinegar producers which is interesting to see. Acetaia del Cristo is the largest one and worth a visit
After sampling so much gelato in Sicily, this was a very welcome post explaining the history and making of gelato and differentiating it from ice cream. I hope I can one day sample the strawberry gelato you describe from Modena. An excellent post!
This is so cool! I just ate a TON of gelato in Italy ... makes my mouth water thinking about it.
Thank you! Lucky you – I haven't been to Italy yet this summer but now I'm dreaming of gelato, too!
So interesting! Never met gelato I didn't like.
Me neither. Thanks for reading, Mary!
Love the history! Great post!
Thanks so much!
@cremeria059 the best ice cream in Modena!
Yes, everyone should check it out! Thanks, Laura
Thank you for sharing this, Anna! We are passing through Modena on our way back from campo estivo and this looks like the perfect stop! 💕 🍧

Anna, thank you so much for the tip!! Love being able to turn the camp commute into a foodie boondoggle for this mamma! :-)
I could see a really excellent listicle of Where Italians Get Their Gelato as a follow-up to this article! Enquiring minds would love to know!
That's a great idea, although it would definitely take some research to get it right!
Anna you did really a great job!
Very interesting story!
Thanks, Claire!

The balsamic vinegar on top sounds so intriguing!
