Spanish balsamic adds a flair of culinary artistry. A kitchen without aged balsamic vinegar is hard to imagine. Less than twenty years ago, balsamico was nearly an unnoticeable Italian accoutrement. Now, cooks utilize it more and more. A few drops of the very best aged balsamic on ripe berries, bartlett pears, or other fruit is the traditional combination to end a meal.

Spanish balsamicSpanish balsamic

balsamic Vinegar is a authentic thick flavored vinegar usually used in Tuscan recipes. It is typically used as a salad dressing when combined with vinegar or as a marinade. It is a traditional product developed in Modena, Italy, where it has been Created since the Middle Ages and the name is protected by the Italian government. Unlike table vinegars, it is dark and heavy with a complex, sweet flavor and is much more expensive. True Balsamico vinegar has been aged in casks 15 years or more.

The primo aged balsamic vinegars have no other ingredients added to them - only the grapes. Lesser vinegars will include brown sugar or caramel to model the sweetness of the true balsamic vinegars. If a company produces a "traditional" balsamic vinegar, they will also create a less expensive, but quality vinegar as well.

Balsamic vinegar is Made by concentrated white grapes (typically, trebbiano grapes) that has been boiled down to about 50% ("must") and fermenting that into alcohol. It is then once again fermented to balsamico vinegar, with a slow aging process done in wood barrels that concentrates the flavours. The flavor is deepened over decades, with the aged balsamic vinegar being kept in fine wood barrels, becoming sweet, syrupy and very concentrated in flavor. Some aged balsamico vinegar is added to the "must" to produce a more complex and intricate taste, and to add acidity.

The syrup is transferred to oak casks to ferment in the open air and then starts the long dehydration and aging process that makes aged balsamico vinegar striking and unique. Balsamic vinegar does not go bad after opening as oxygen is part of the aging process, you can cherish your finest bottle and use it on special entrees. Do not overheat or cook balsamic vinegar as it will destroy the flavor.

As a key ingredient in vinaigrette dressings, balsamic blends especially well with olive oil. Olive oil-balsamic vinaigrette is wonderful with scallops, artichokes and asparagus. A balsamic salad dressing does well with winter veggies such as carrots, turnips, squash and sweet potatoes, as well as fresh mixed greens or baby spinach.

The Mediterranean diet, characterized by cuisine such as Italian food, has been gaining popularity in North America, where the consumption of traditional Mediterranean foods, such as cold pressed olive oil and balsamic vinegar, has been increasing. Many people are finding this diet as a healthy alternative to fatty foods and deep fried food preparation.
