When we went to Modena, Italy, home of traditional balsamic vinegar. While there, we came across some fantastic ways of using balsamic vinegar on fruits and vegetables.
This one intrigued us, it was balsamic with chocolate! And we had to try it, and let us tell you, it is beyond fantastic!
Chocolate balsamic vinegar is a unique and versatile condiment that can be used to add a touch of sweetness and sophistication to both sweet and savory dishes.
