Balsamic vinegar is a dark vinegar that’s rich, slightly sweet, and has been through the fermentation process. The best balsamic vinegar in Italy goes through a wooden barrel maturing process. 

When Modena balsamic is IGP certified, you can trust its authenticity. The label shows that the balsamic vinegar is from the region of production and processing. The main ingredient is “grape must.” So making balsamic vinegar is slightly similar to the wine-making process.
