The real balsamic vinegar is an artisanal
product from Modena in Italy. It is matured
in wooden barrels, without the addition of
other ingredients. To each new barrel, a
quantity of vinegar from the oldest barrel
is added to start the maturing process.
12 years is about the minimum age at
which the special characteristics of this
noble vinegar come to the fore. The longer
the maturation, the better the taste. We
have had the privilege of tasting 100-year-
old aceto balsamico. This is not only
indescribable in terms of taste, but also
more expensive than gold. Know that at
that age, more than 80% of the original
volume has evaporated.
steak with
balsamic vinegar
sauce
Fry finely chopped shallots and garlic in some
olive oil. Add a glass of red balsamic vinegar,
beef stock, a tablespoon of strawberry jam and
red wine. Allow to reduce. Thicken if necessary.
Stir a spoonful of drained capers into the sauce.
Fry the steaks to the desired cuisson. Pour
sauce over them.
Serve with pasta and Parmesan, unless the
dish is part of a real Italian multi-course menu.
In that case, nothing else is needed.
