Balsamic vinegar is a slightly sweet, dark, richly flavored vinegar used to enhance salad dressings, marinades, and sauces. It can be reduced to a glaze and drizzled over strawberries, stirred into a risotto, or tossed with Brussels sprouts or red onions to let its sugars caramelize in the oven.
Balsamic vinegar enriches the flavor of every food it touches. Once a hard-to-find specialty product, it is now part of our everyday cooking.
A trip through the grocery store aisles displays a wide range of products and brands – Balsamic Glaze, White Balsamic, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, ranging in price from $4 to $20 and at some stores over $100 a bottle.
But what is it, really? How is it made? What’s the difference between white balsamic and regular balsamic vinegar? What makes some balsamic vinegar so expensive?
