Vinegar has been known and used since the most ancient civilizations, as it is proven by the finding of an Egyptian vase - dating back to 8.000 years before Christ - that vinegar was used for preservation. This is the oldest historical evidence for vinegar's appreciation, but many were those who used this product and praised its qualities in the old times. Pliny wrote about the "sweetness" of this unique seasoning which was used by the people of Athens. Hippocrates was one of the first doctors who prescribed vinegar to treat troubles of the respiratory tracts and used it as disinfectant and anti-inflammatory remedy for wounds and ulcers. The praises and virtues of this healthy seasoning were long sung through all the centuries until present days. Today - thanks to a report card issued by the Pharmacy Institute of Milan University - so many good qualities are scientifically attributed to vinegar that it can be considered by full right a fundamental nutrition element.
