What is "balsamic vinegar"?
Balsamic vinegar is a dark, syrupy vinegar originating from Italy, made from grapes that are boiled down to a thick syrup and then fermented. It has a complex and rich flavor profile, with a balance of sweetness and acidity, along with hints of fruitiness and woodiness from the aging process in wooden barrels. Balsamic vinegar is commonly used as a condiment, salad dressing, or flavoring agent in both savory and sweet dishes. It adds depth and complexity to salads, roasted vegetables, meats, cheeses, and even desserts.
