balsamic vinegar adds a flair to healthy cooking. A
gourmet kitchen without balsamic vinegar is incomplete. Less than twenty years ago,
aged balsamic was nearly an unnoticeable Italian condiment. Now, gourmet chefs use it more and more. A few drops
of the very best aged balsamic on ripe strawberries,
pears, or other fruit is the traditional combination to end
a main course. |

 balsamic vinegar
balsamic Vinegar
is a traditional heavy flavored vinegar typically used
in Tuscan recipes. It is sometimes used as a salad
dressing when combined with oil or as a marinade. It
is a traditional import that was developed in Modena, Italy,
where it has been Created since the Middle Ages and the
brand is protected by the Italian government. Unlike
most common vinegars, it is very dark and heavy with a complex,
sweet flavor and is much more pricey. True Aged balsamic
vinegar has been aged in casks 15 years and upwards.
The primo aged balsamic vinegars
have nothing else added to them - only
the trebbiano grapes. Lesser common vinegars will add brown sugar or caramel
to imitate the sweetness of the balsamic vinegars. If a company
produces a "traditional" aged balsamic vinegar,
they will also create a less costly, but high quality
vinegar as well.

Oil and vinegar Balsamic Salad dressings.
Balsamic vinegar is Produced
by concentrated white grapes (typically,
trebbiano grapes) that has been boiled down to approximately
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 flavours. The flavour is intensified over years,
with the vinegar being kept in fine wood barrels, becoming
sweet, viscous and very concentrated in flavor. Some
older balsamic vinegar is added to the "must"
to make 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 begins the long evaporation and aging process
that makes aged balsamico vinegar unique. Balsamic vinegar
does not deteriorate after opening as oxygen is part
of the aging process, you can appreciate your best bottle
and use it on special occasions. Do
not heat or cook balsamic vinegar
as it will destroy the flavor.
As a key component
in vinaigrette dressings, balsamic blends
particularly well with olive oil. Olive oil-balsamic
vinaigrette is outstanding with scallops,
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.
