Balsamic Vinegar

Often thought to be a wine vinegar, Balsamic vinegar is actually made from grape pressings that have never been permitted to ferment into wine.

The sweet white Trebbiano grape pressings are boiled down to a dark syrup and then aged under rigid restrictions. The syrup is placed into oaken kegs, along with a vinegar "mother," and begins the aging process.

Over the years it graduates to smaller and smaller kegs made of chestnut, cherrywood, ash, mulberry, and juniper until it is ready for sale. All of these woods progressively add character to the vinegar. As it ages, moisture evaporates out, further thickening the vinegar and concentrating the flavor. Some balsamic vinegars have been aged for over 100 years.

As far back as 900 years ago, vintners in the Modena region of Italy were making balsamic vinegar. It was taken as a tonic and bestowed upon those of importance as a mark of favor.
