Question: what is the difference between dark balsamic vinegar and white balsamic vinegar?
Answer: Authentic balsamic vinegar is aged no less than 12 years. ... The flavors of the two are very similar, although the dark balsamic is slightly sweeter and tends to be a little more syrupy. The white has more of a clean aftertaste. The main reason one would use white balsamic, rather than regular, is mostly aesthetic.
