Luxurious, velvety, and steeped in over five centuries of Italian tradition, Acetaia Malpighi SABA is one of Italy’s most treasured culinary elixirs. Made in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, this syrup is produced by slowly cooking freshly pressed grape must over low flame for days, reducing it to a rich, naturally sweet nectar with extraordinary depth and complexity.
Unlike industrial syrups or sweeteners, Malpighi SABA contains one single ingredient — 100% cooked grape must — with no added sugar, no caramel, no preservatives, and no artificial additives. Its clean-label purity and artisanal craftsmanship make it a rare Italian specialty almost impossible to find in the U.S. at this level of authenticity.
Taycte/MySapori is proud to bring this iconic Modenese product to American kitchens, delivering the true flavor of Italy’s heritage in every drop.
Why It Stands Out
- Made in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, the birthplace of Italy’s cooked grape must tradition
- 100% cooked grape must — no added sugar, no caramel, no preservatives
- Slow-cooked over 48+ hours using ancient Modenese methods
- Naturally sweet, complex, and aromatic
- Vegan • Gluten-free • Clean-label
- Perfectly balanced for savory, sweet, and cocktail applications
- Crafted by Acetaia Malpighi, one of Italy’s most historic producer families (since 1850)
This is the purest form of traditional Italian SABA — elegant, authentic, and unmatched in complexity.
Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market
Most U.S. syrups and glaze-style condiments are:
- made with refined sugar
- colored with caramel or molasses
- flavored with extracts
- industrially thickened not region-specific or heritage-crafted
Malpighi SABA is the opposite:
- Single-ingredient
- Region-protected
- Historically authentic
- Slow-cooked
- Handcrafted in Modena
- Imported in small batches
This makes Taycte/MySapori one of the only U.S. retailers offering true Italian SABA in its original artisanal form.
How to Enjoy
- Drizzle over cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano, pecorino, burrata
- Spoon over roasted vegetables (pumpkin, carrots, beets)
- Use as a glaze for grilled meats or pork
- Finish gelato, yogurt, fresh fruit, pancakes, or pastry
- Stir into vinaigrettes, marinades, or reduction sauces
- Replace simple syrup in cocktails & mocktails
- Mix with sparkling water for an energizing Italian-style drink
Flavor profile: velvety sweetness with notes of fig, raisin, plum, cooked grape, and warm caramel — long, elegant finish.
