Balsamic, the King of Vinegars

Vinegar is a natural by-product from any low-grade alcohol, such as beer or wine, left exposed to the air. The alcohol converting to acetic acid makes the sour taste of the vinegar. The acetic acid can peel the paint from your house if it is undiluted. But with only 5-6% strength, it turns into an ultimate flavor enhancer that every kitchen must have.  

There are several varieties of vinegar depending on the particular occasion or dish you choose to prepare but perhaps the most prominent one is the balsamic vinegar. With its most supreme flavor, real balsamic made in Modena, Italy are aged 3-5 years while the rare ones are up to a century or more. These finest and first-class balsamics can cost hundreds of dollars. Indeed, worthy to be recognized as the king of vinegars.
