Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I tried it once while in Europe and friends had ice cream and poured a small amount over it. I asked what the syrup was and was told it was Balsamic Vinegar. It tasted good a sweet taste to it. After asking more about this, I was told the flavor comes from the type of wooden cask it is aged in, up to 25 years. It is made from grapes and very expensive.

MT There is a lot more than aging for 25 years like scotch or bourbon. A serious thing here is taste buds. We have 5 senses. Most people understand that others see or hear better. It is really hard to understand that others have better taste or smell sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 this bottle that I bought is made locally by a company that grows Olive trees for olive oil. Olives are making a comeback down in south Georgia. cotton is getting out of favor. I may try it and see and if I don't like it give it to a child, they won't know the difference maybe. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The production of balsamic vinegar is highly regulated and exclusive of Modena or the Emilia Region of Italy. The quality of the product is determined by the aging processes. You can get 100 year balsamic if you are willing to dish out a ton of money or maybe mortgage your wife, children and maybe even your dog (now, personally I would not part with the latter). The stuff goes right along with saffron, real caviar, truffles, and certain dessert wines. The cheap stuff is good in salads but to use it in ice cream you have to use better stuff, although not 100 year or even 25 year old stuff.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Balsamic vinegar is just wine that turned bad. Imagine the poor guy who's family has been saving a barrel of wine for 100 years. They finally open it up and expect to reap the rewards, only to find out its turned to vinegar.

If it is made in America, yes. Emilio Regiana, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
