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.

How does balsamic reduction happen?

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.
