Balsamic vinegar is a condiment that has been made in Italy's Modena and Reggio Emilia regions since the Middle Ages. All balsamic vinegars are, however, not created equal. The original balsamic vinegar is in fact a product made from cooking and reducing white Trebbiano grape juice. While the original process of making balsamic vinegar is still in practice, the product that it produces is very expensive. The cost comes from aging the product to reduce and thicken for a period of 12 years or more. As the aging process continues, the product is moved into successively smaller casks, until the desired taste, consistency and acidity have been reached. Some balsamic vinegars are aged for 18 and even 25 years. In its most harsh, un-reduced state, it is great for salad dressings and as an ingredient in marinades. The true aged product, however, is deliciously sweet and thick and is great on top of ice cream or in desserts like panna cotta. Here's how to buy a good balsamic vinegar. | Balsamic vinegar is a condiment that has been made in Italy's Modena and Reggio Emilia regions since the Middle Ages.
