'Tradizionale DOP' is the only real thing — 'Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP' at €5-15 is an industrial blend, not aged 25 years
The bulbous 100ml Giugiaro-designed bottle shape IS the authenticity check: no other bottle is legal for Tradizionale
Pack in checked luggage (over 100ml liquid); wrap well — it's irreplaceable
US/India customs: sealed vinegar is fine, just declare
