Is the balsamic vinegar in your kitchen cupboard FAKE? The 5 key signs
Briefly

Authentic balsamic vinegar, regulated by strict standards, is a rarity and often expensive, leading to widespread adulteration in cheaper brands available in supermarkets.
True balsamic vinegar production is an artisanal process requiring traditional methods, strict regulations, and a lengthy aging period of at least 12 years to reach its peak quality.
Signs of real balsamic vinegar include knowledge of origin, absence of artificial colors, consistency in thickness, and a rich flavor profile that reflects its lengthy production process.
In regions like Modena and Reggio Emilia, production is tightly controlled ensuring that only genuine 'Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale' meets the established quality and authenticity guidelines.
