Short facts : Made from white grapes it gets its dark colour from ageing in wooden barrels

Balsamic vinegar is a dark, thick, and syrupy vinegar that originates from Italy. It is made from the concentrated juice of white grapes that have been aged for several years in wooden barrels. Balsamic vinegar has a sweet and tangy flavour with a hint of acidity, making it a popular condiment in many dishes. It is often used in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and as a drizzle over dishes like Caprese salad or grilled vegetables and even desserts to add depth and complexity to the flavours.
