Balsamic Vinegar

Traditional balsamic vinegar is made by Italian artisans, although you can find many commercial versions throughout the world. The traditional version is made from grapes that are left on the vine for as long as possible to create the highest sugar content. Balsamic vinegar is on the sweeter side, meaning it pairs perfectly with fruits and creamy cheeses. Consider using balsamic vinegar for homemade vinaigrettes or reduce it into a glaze to make a sweet topping for meats and veggies.
