Balsamic glaze is a thick, glossy sauce made by reducing balsamic vinegar, often with added sugar, to a syrupy consistency. It tastes sweet-tart with deep grape and caramel notes and clings in a dark, lacquered sheen. Cooks use it to finish grilled meats, glaze roasted vegetables, and accent salads, cheeses, and fruit; it commonly comes in squeeze bottles.\n\nRooted in Italy's Modena and Reggio Emilia, it adapts traditional balsamic reductions into a ready-to-use condiment. The style spread through contemporary restaurant plating and retail condiments worldwide.
