That's not really very helpful but I am new here so I will leave it in case I am supposed to.
Aged balsamic vinegar has been aged.
Reduced balsamic vinegar has been reduced in volume by boiling. It is thicker because there is less water content. One how-to on the subject says it should take under 5 minutes to accomplish.
Basically you put 4 times as much vinegar as you need into a pan, heat it over heat low enough not to caramelize or burn it, and wait for it to "get smaller". It is often used as a garnish on sweet potato dishes.
Traditionally, balsamic vinegar was aged for a minimum of 12 years. This type, however, is now rare and expensive. The second grade is aged for less than 12 years, and can in some cases not be aged at all. The third grading level, which is what you probably have, is not made at all in the same manner. It is, in effect, imitation balsamic. It is made by adding color and thickener to Wine Vinegar.
According to Wikipedia, the 2 higher levels are labeled in one of these ways:
"Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale" (top grade made traditionally)
"condimento balsamico"
"salsa balsamica"
"salsa di mosto cotto"
So if you are looking to try Aged balsamic, you should really go for one that at least tries to be authentic. There is really no reason why aging would make the imitation type better.
Yes. Balsamic Vinegar is vinegar made from grapes, as opposed to rice vinegar, or white wine vinegar. Balsamic Vinegrette is a salad dressing, specifically a mixture of Balsamic Vinegar, often with herbs, spices, and olive oil.
White balsamic vinegar is made from white wine grapes mellowed in wooden casks and has a light almost smokey/fruity aroma that accents anything it touches.Rice wine vinegar is stronger and made from rice wine allowed to go to vinegar.
Balsamic reduction is made when you put balsamic vineger (or black vineger) in a heat source. Fructose molecules come together, causing the liquidy vineger to be a thicker substance. As you probably know, if you put water and vineger in a cup, they seperate. That is why you cannot do this with your average water.
You can substitute regular balsamic vinegar for white balsamic vinegar in the recipe.
Balsamic vinegar is usually used during cooking - especially in the Mediterranean kitchen, for example Italian. Some examples for recipes where balsamic vinegar is used include salad dressings, dips and sauces.
When you purchase balsamic vinegar, you do not get the oil in the vinegar. However, it is possible to purchase a pine nut oil and balsamic vinegar salad dressing.
no. You can not substitute any other vinegar for balsamic and get the same flavor.
I think "rendered balsamic vinegar" is the same as "reduced balsamic vinegar" - heat it up in a pan until it has evaporated to (at least) half the volume that it was originally.
Yes. Provided that the balsamic vinegar does not have any haraam additions (such as bacon flakes), there should be no reason that Muslims could not use balsamic vinegar.
Paul Newman balsamic vinegar is amazing and I believe is also organic.
No, white balsamic vinegar is not the same as white vinegar. White balsamic vinegar is made from white Trebbiano grapes and has a milder flavor compared to white vinegar, which is made from distilled grain alcohol and has a stronger taste.
