Twenty-five years ago, balsamic vinegars were just getting known in the United States; tradizionales weren’t even available for purchase but had to be given as gifts from Italian friends. Today we are enriched with great products available at specialty stores and online; but sadly, most people have had only the imitation product, which is most of what is sold in the nation’s supermarkets.
Given that balsamic vinegar is one of the great pleasures of the food world, seeking out an authentic bottle is well worth the time and expense. You have to learn how to read labels, ask, and then ask again. But, as with learning about wines, once you come up the curve a bit, the rewards are spectacular.
This week, part three of our four part look at vinegar: what makes balsamic truly balsamic.

Vinegar commonly is used in food preparation, particularly in pickling processes, vinaigrettes, and other salad dressings. It is an ingredient in sauces such as mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. Vinegar sometimes is used while making chutneys. It often is used as a condiment. Marinades often contain vinegar.
Could all that be done with just one type of vinegar? Hardly.
This week, part two of our four part look at vinegar: the multitude of varieties of vinegar.
