Balsamic Vinegar
Vinegar as a home remedy, is a weak acid that has been used as an antiseptic medicine for thousands of years.

It is made from unfermented juice from white grapes known as "must" which has natural high sugar content and is typically found in trebbiano grapes. True balsamic vinegar is very dark in color, has a sweet, fruity flavor and usually has a thicker consistency than white vinegar.

True balsamic vinegar is aged a minimum of 12 years to receive authentication. Vinegars that have not been aged for 12 years have a stronger "bite" and do not have the sweet mellow taste of wooden barreled aged balsamic.
