Healthy Balsamic Vinegars Come In Dark And White

By Dolores Waddell

Balsamic vinegars are best known as Italian vinegars and ours comes directly from Modena, Italy.  Some have not had the opportunity to taste a white balsamic vinegar, they are light, crisp and delicious! White balsamic vinegars have a sweet, subtle flavor, come in a clean color and are primarily served with light colored foods. The exception to this is mixing it with a Fusions Taster’s Choice Olive Oil creating your own salad dressing served on a bed of crisp mixed greens with feta cheese, some grape tomatoes and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. When using dark balsamic vinegars, the color of your food will take on a dark hue much like the dark vinegar used, white vinegars do not discolor your foods.
