Caroliva balsamic adds a flair of culinary artistry. A kitchen without balsamic vinegar is minus a wonderful flavor. Less than 20 years ago, aged balsamic was nearly an unnoticeable Italian ingredient. Now, gourmet chefs use it extensively. A couple of drops of the very best balsamic vinegar on ripe strawberries, pears, or other fruit is a customary combination to end a main course.
