Casa Rinaldi, today
Our headquarter is still located today a few meters away from the ancient property of Casa Rinaldi in the Modena city’s countryside, in the very heart of the Emilia Romagna Region – the Italian food valley. The property has been recently renovated and is now a modern and avant-garde building, designed by the architects Marco and Stefano Fontana. Our headquarter is equipped with open space offices, a large showroom and anti-seismic logistics. Right beside it, we have built a warehouse of more than 7,000 square meters, 15 meters in height, over 1,500 photovoltaic panels and some refrigerator rooms.
Our History
1979
Right after the second world war, the Rinaldi family has founded one of the most important entrepreneurial groups of Modena and has decided to follow his true passion for food and balsamic vinegar of Modena: that is how Casa Rinaldi was born, home to italian tradition for best food and design.
1990
Casa Rinaldi’s Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena wins first place at the Super Palio di San Giovanni, a special event celebrating the twentieth anniversary of a competition that compares the best producers of traditional balsamic vinegars – judged by the master tasters of the Consorteria dell’Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Spilamberto.
1998
Casa Rinaldi launches on the market a unique product, “Duetto”, putting together PGI balsamic vinegar of Modena and extra virgin olive oil in a box with a fascinating and efficient design. Duetto is soon welcomed very warmly by industry insiders and consumers alike – also winning an award for creativity and appeal during the Cibus exhibition.
2004
At the beginning of 2000 Casa Rinaldi goes international. In 2004, it inaugurates in Mosca “Italcity food”, and import and distribution society for Casa Rinaldi products. It then expands in Ukraine with “Casa Rinaldi Ukraine” (2009).
2010
2012
Following the global growth of the organic food market, in 2012 Casa Rinaldi establishes an organic food department and launches the new brand “Biologicoils”. The new department, Biotuscany, is still today developing new ideas and recipes. At the same time, due to the increasing importance of organic food, Casa Rinaldi starts “Casa Rinaldi Organic”, a wide range of totally organic food products.
2013
Casa Rinaldi opens branches in Moldavia and Ungheria in 2013 and 2016: its story goes on following the footsteps of tradition in order to bring the best Italian food worldwide.
2019
To celebrate its first 40 years, Casa Rinaldi creates a new condiment: the balsamic vinegar of Modena PGI “Il cuore del sapore”. It is a very fine PGI balsamic vinegar of Modena, consisting of aged balsamic vinegar with the addition of extra old vinegar. Shiny black in colour and with a density of 1.35, it is stored inside a particular and sophisticated bottle and sealed with a practical cork stopper. The scent of this vinegar is enriched by a pleasant and light hint of wood. The same wooden note is also appreciated when tasted.
2022
In occasion of Cibus 2022 Awards, Casa Rinaldi won the first prize for “Best Packaging for Condiments” and ranked among the finalists for “Best Product Innovation” with the new White Truffle Olive Oil with Natural Aroma. A new Oil with a unique and unmistakable scent and an elegant and intense flavour. A product that represents an evolution and innovation in the sector, obtained by using exclusively natural aromas. This oil joins other three products in our Puro Tartufo Line: the Carpaccio, the Ground Truffle Sauce and the Whole Truffle.
Our ecosystem
Casa Rinaldi can count on three valuable companies connected to the same holding: Tuscany, a production site located in Tuscany and dedicated to the bottling of extra virgin olive oils, infused oils and other condiments, including private labels; Emiliaceti, where we produce balsamic vinegar of Modena; Biotuscany, the department entirely and exclusively dedicated to the production, research and development of 100% organic products.
Innovation and production
We know that research is an important step to grow in the business. That is why our R&D department is always studying new methods to enhance production processes, innovate technologies and create new recipes every day.
Casa Rinaldi also gives its contribution to the food industry registering brand new patents; like the one developed by our Tuscany brand about a new infusion method.
