balsamic adds a flair to healthy cooking. A gourmet kitchen without balsamic vinegar is minus a wonderful flavor. Less than twenty years ago, balsamic vinegar was nearly an unnoticeable Tuscany condiment. Now, gourmet chefs utilize it more and more. A couple of drops of the very best balsamic vinegar on ripe strawberries, pears, or other fruit is the traditional combination to end a main course.
