Is Balsamic Vinegar the same as Wine vinegar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Balsamic vinegar is made from grape pressings which have not been made into wine. It is aged in barrels similar to wine. It is generally very deep burgundy and slightly sweet and syrupy, depending how long it has been aged. Other vinegars such as white wine or rice wine vinegar are made from wine in a controlled process. The sugar in the mixture becomes alcohol and the alcohol becomes acetic acid in order to produce vinegar.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most Vodka is made from wheat or rye, and therefore is not kosher for Passover.

There are 3 or 4 still made from only potatoes, but you must check labels.If you want some potato Vodka for the next high Holy days, you can make some at home. We call it Polish White Lightening, but you can name yours whatever you like.

Is balsamic vinegar gluten free?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yup, gluten free.

Sometimes the yeast starters that ferment other types of vinegar are made with malted barley (contains gluten) but not any apple ciders.

They add dried yeast to ferment the sugars from the apple juice, then the acetobacter is added to convert the alcohol into acedic acid (vinegar). Enjoy it!

Should you keep balsamic vinegar in the refrigerator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on storage conditions, but theoretically it can easily be stored for many years. Balsamic vinegars are aged in wood casks for many years (for the best traditional varieties from Modema, Italy) which are not completely sealed so evaporation occurs. This means that balsamic vinegar can be kept safely for many months, even years, after opening on the shelf or in the refrigerator.

What does it mean to reduce balsamic vinegar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should put balsamic vinegar in a saucepan using, if possible, a thick-bottomed one, to avoid the vinegar from burning or caramelizing. Place on the stove on the smallest heater you have, and let it boil softly until you reduce it to about one quarter of the starting volume. By that point, your reduction should have a syrupy texture. It will get much thicker when it cools down. If it got too thick, you can add a little water and reheat it to allow it to properly mix, then let it cool down again.

If you're in a hurry, you can add a little sugar to the balsamic vinegar before starting the reduction process, or even thicken it with a slurry made from rice flour, but the results won't be as good as with the classical method.

Does Balsamic Vinegar have salt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Balsamic Vinegar doesn't contain salt.It is very dark brown in color and its flavor is rich, sweet, and complex, with the finest grades being the product of years of aging in a successive number of casks made of various types of wood (ie. oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry, juniper, ash, and acacia). Originally it was a product available only to the Italian upper classes, a cheaper form of balsamic vinegar became widely known and available around the world in the late twentieth century.

True balsamic vinegar is aged for 12 to 25 years. Balsamic vinegar's that have been aged for up to 100 years are available, though they are usually very expensive. The commercial balsamic sold in supermarkets is typically made with red wine vinegar or concentrated grape juice mixed with a strong vinegar, which is laced with caramel and sugar. Regardless of how it is produced, balsamic vinegar must be made from a grape product.
