Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Vinegar for Cooking, Kosher For Passover, 16.9oz Glass Bottle (Single)

Usage: This grade of balsamic vinegar is also known as salad balsamic (balsamic insalata), which gives you a clue as to how it's used; it's the go-to balsamic for a flavorful salad dressing. It's also a great flavor enhancer for soups and stews, and ideal as a marinade. Unlike fancy balsamics, it's actually perfect for cooking with, because it can reduce down. In fact, one of the simplest things to do with salad balsamic is to boil it in a saucepan with some sugar to create a cheap balsamic syrup. Lighter salad balsamics are especially tart, and ideal for vinaigrettes and dips. Darker salad balsamics are sweeter and make better marinades and finishing drizzles. The darkest varieties are the ones to experiment with on ice cream or berries, though they won't offer the same rapturous pleasure as the real thing. Flavor: I.G.P. balsamic has a higher acidity, and that's strongly reflected in the taste, delicate and well balanced sweet and sour flavor.
