Balsamic makes everything taste better! Make this balsamic chicken next!

Pork chops: Thick cut pork chops are usually 1 inch to 1 ½ inches thick. Other ingredients: Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, butter, olive oil, garlic cloves, chicken stock, brown sugar, cornstarch, and minced parsley.

Traditional balsamic vinegar, the purest and highest quality, is aged for 12-25 years in Reggio Emilia and Modena, Italy. When searching for traditional balsamic vinegar, ensure ‘aceto balsamico tradizionale’ is on the label. This vinegar is typically sweet and syrupy thick, not ideal for cooking, but perfect for drizzling over meats, cheeses, desserts, or simply savoring with bread. Condimento balsamico is crafted from high-quality ingredients, though it may not originate from Reggio Emilia or be aged as long as traditional balsamic vinegar. It offers excellent value and is generally more affordable. While it’s of superior quality, making it less of a splurge, it is ideally used as a finishing vinegar instead of in marinades or dressings. Balsamic vinegar of modena I.G.P. is an everyday quality balsamic vinegar. While the ingredients are good, it’s less aged and skips the fermentation process. It’s not as sweet as other high-quality balsamic varieties and is perfect for salad dressings, marinades, and cooking.

Other types include non I.G.P balsamic which are not made in Italy and imitation balsamic which uses other kinds of vinegar and additives.
