Aimed at coupling a speciality ingredient with the functionality that chefs require, Imaginative Cuisine has developed a derivative of balsamic vinegar. The product tastes the same as balsamic, but is made without the acidity of the real vinegar, meaning there is no enzyme breakdown effect on foodstuffs like salad. The producers claim it is not industrially produced and respects the traditional methods of making balsamic vinegar. The product also comes in a plastic, squeezable bottle for convenience, and is more viscous than ordinary vinegar, allowing plates to be dressed in advance.
Price: £9.95 for 500ml
