True Balsamic comes from the Modena region of Italy and has an appelation all it's own, which means that any balsamic-style vinegar that's not manufactured in Modena isn't true balsamic!. The main difference between it and other vinegars is that it's aged in oak casks, like wine!. This imparts a marvelous flavor, and once you've tried the real thing, you will never go back!. For things like salad dressing, any vinegar will work in a pinch, but if it's balsamic dressing you want, you have to use the proper vinegar or the flavor will not be there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Balsamic vinegar comes from the modena region of Italy and is made from red wine it has, in my opinion, the most pronounced taste of all vinegars!. Other vinegars come from applecider, whitewine, sherry, and ricewine!. They all have their own distinctive flavors!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Balsamic vinegar endures a longer aging process, and therefore has a stronger taste!. It's great with salad and Italian dishes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
