Spanish balsamic adds a flair of culinary artistry. A gourmet kitchen without balsamic vinegar is hard to imagine. Less than twenty years ago, balsamico was nearly an unnoticeable Tuscany accoutrement. Now, cooks use it more and more. A couple of drops of the very best balsamic vinegar on ripe strawberries, bartlett pears, or other fruit is a customary combination to end a main course.
