aceto balsamico tradizionale adds a flair of culinary artistry. A gourmet kitchen without aged balsamic vinegar is hard to imagine. Less than twenty years ago, balsamico was nearly an unknown Tuscany ingredient. Now, gourmet chefs use it more and more. A few drops of the very best balsamic on ripe strawberries, bartlett pears, or other fruit is the traditional combination to end a meal.
