Pedro Ximenez balsamic adds a flair to healthy cooking. A gourmet kitchen without aged balsamic vinegar is minus a wonderful flavor. Less than 20 years ago, aged balsamic was nearly an unknown Tuscany accouterment. Now, cooks utilize it more and more. A few drops of the very best balsamico on ripe berries, pears, or other fruit is the traditional combination to end a main course.
