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

I recently came across Birdseye's new "lightly seasoned" frozen vegetables that you can microwave in the bag.

The creamed spinach advertised that it is all natural, so I took a quick glance at the package and snatched it off the shelf.

How bad can that be, I decided. Upon further inspection of these frozen seasoned vegetables, here is what I found......

Spanish balsamicSpanish balsamic

aged balsamic Vinegar is a authentic viscous flavoured 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 import originating in Modena, Italy, where it has been Made since the Middle Ages and the brand is protected by the Italian government. Unlike table vinegars, it is very dark and viscous with a complex, sweet taste and is much more pricey. True Aged balsamic vinegar has been aged 15 years or more.

The best balsamico vinegars have nothing else added to them - only the grapes. Lesser ones will include brown sugar or caramel to feign the sweetness of the true balsamic vinegars. If a company makes a "traditional" balsamic vinegar, they will also develop a less expensive, but high 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 flavors. The flavor is heightened over decades, with the balsamic vinegar being kept in fine oak barrels, becoming sweet, viscous and very concentrated in flavour. Some aged balsamico vinegar is added to the "must" to produce a more complex and intricate taste, and to add acidity.

The thick syrup is transferred to oak casks to ferment in the open air and then starts the long dehydration and aging process that makes aged balsamic vinegar striking and unique. Balsamic vinegar does not degenerate after opening as oxygen is part of the aging process, you can treasure your best bottle and use it on special occasions. Do not heat or cook balsamic vinegar as it will destroy the taste.

As a key ingredient in vinaigrette dressings, balsamic pairs particularly well with olive oil. Olive oil-balsamic vinaigrette is outstanding with seafood, artichokes and asparagus. A balsamic salad dressing does well with winter veggies such as carrots, turnips, squash and sweet potatoes, as well as spring 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.
