aceto balsamico tradizionale adds a flair to gourmet cooking. A kitchen without balsamic vinegar is minus a wonderful flavor. Less than 20 years ago, balsamic vinegar was nearly an obscure Tuscan accoutrement. Now, gourmet chefs utilize it more and more. A couple drops of the very best aged balsamic on ripe berries, bartlett pears, or other fruit is a customary combination to end a main course.
