Balsamic Vinegar can be used in cooking for extra flavour used like a soya sauce. Or it can be utilized like a dip as a snack. Its good with very thin slices of french bread dipped in it, or you could have it have it with segments of tortilla or pitta bread with other snacks like nuts, seeds or olives.
I also like it dripped with olive oil and garlic on tomatoes and mozzarella cheese served on a bed of fresh spinach.

Its made from a cooked wine Trebbiano grape juice so different from the traditional vinegar. It has been made in Modena and also Reggio Emilia since the Middle Ages and source link shares with us that it is mentioned in a document that is dated to 1046.
The word 'balsamico' from the Latin 'balsamum' comes from the Greek 'balsamon' and it means 'balsam-like' that is restorative and or curative. [1] You could also add the balsamic vinegar to a tomato juice drink, or try it with orange or carrot juice. I also have a carrot and coriander soup this week, so I shall also add some balsamic vinegar to that as well. Jesus first mentioned the 'vinegar' to me around Christmas time last year. So I must remember to include it in my weekly diet.
Balsamic vinegar has a high mineral content. High in calcium and low in sodium, it also has a strong iron content that is good for the blood in addition to being high in Magnesium. [2] Balsamic Vinegar is an essential for those with any heart, blood flow or circulation conditions.
The GP was pleased with the recovery so far from the incident in January 2011, and he said that he knows that it is being worked on. Onwards and upwards!
