About the Brand

The Company Galletti boasts the claim of OLD ARTISAN-VINEGAR FACTORY SINCE 1871, as it has been producing wine-vinegar for 5 generations.

The founder Francesco Galletti had moved from Modena to the surroundings of Cremona; there he bought a food & rest point both for the small village of San Daniele Po and for anyone passing on barges the Po river. He exchanged typical products of Cremona with dressed pork products from Parma and wines from Modena.

In addition to these activities, he thought to start the production of vinegar, since in our land there were no quality grapes, and wines had a low alcohol level, which means they were prone to weaken and impair. In order not to lose them, they were turned into vinegar. In this way, in 1871 the “Old Vinegar Factory” was born. In the course of the years, the Galletti Company has grown, passing from 1 to 3 plants: Two of them are located in San Daniele Po – Cremona – for the production of wine-vinegar, flavoured vinegars, lemon juice, apple-vinegar and dressings.
