Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar is a dark, slightly sweet vinegar originating from Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy and is widely used in salads, glazes, marinades and reductions for its rich, tangy flavor. It is typically used sparingly; note that it contains about 17g of sugar per 100g, which contributes to its sweet taste compared with many other vinegars. Despite that sweetness, balsamic vinegar contains beneficial polyphenols and other plant compounds that act as antioxidants, and when used in small amounts it can add flavor without adding much fat or calories to a dish.
