Balsamic Vinegar

...or aceto balsamico, in Italian, is a condiment that has been produced in Modena Italy since the middle ages. Tradizionale, or traditional Italian Balsamic Vinegar is aged from the "must," or concentration of the trebbiano grape. This grape must is then aged in wooden casks for many years until it develops its lush, syrupy texture and sweet flavor we have come to recognize as Italian Balsamic Vinegar!
