Balsamic vinegar is often confused with wine vinegar. But wine is just wine fermented into vinegar, in contrast to the balsamic one called the king among vinegars, which is made specially - from the juice of white grape varieties and used in combination with various products.

Step 1
Use balsamic vinegar literally drop by drop when preparing salads, especially with fresh vegetables and herbs, soups (add directly to a plate), marinating fish (instead of regular vinegar), desserts. Its main culinary quality lies in its ability to add exquisite flavor to ordinary food, making it an ideal dressing for a wide variety of dishes. Add just a few drops of balsamic vinegar to a serving of plain omelet, strawberry salad and even ice cream to set off the flavor.
Step 2
Prepare a simple treat that is customary to serve guests in Italy before serving the main course. Add balsamic vinegar and ready-made dry mixture of Italian spices (oregano, thyme, basil, etc.) to the olive oil to taste. Serve with the sauce diced cheese, sliced tomatoes and bell peppers, olives and slices of bread. This dish is eaten by dipping pieces of cheese, vegetables and bread in the sauce. Moreover, they break bread with their hands.
Step 3
Try this dessert. Rinse fresh strawberries in cold water, cut large berries into halves. Sprinkle sugar over the berries and stir. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, stir again and let it brew for 30 minutes at room temperature. Put the finished strawberries together with the resulting juice in portioned bowls or small salad bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
