Pedro Ximenez balsamic adds a flair of culinary artistry. A gourmet kitchen without balsamic vinegar is minus a wonderful flavor. Less than 20 years ago, balsamico was nearly an obscure Tuscan condiment. Now, cooks use it more and more. A few drops of the very best aged balsamic on ripe berries, pears, or other fruit is a customary combination to end a meal.
