What are vinegars?
Vinegar is an acidic liquid obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of different products such as wine, cider, beer, rice, fruits, among others. During this process, acetic acid bacteria convert alcohol to acetic acid, which is what gives vinegar its characteristic flavor and aroma.
On the other hand, aceto are similar, but they are made from grape must that is left to ferment and age in wooden barrels. As the wort evaporates, the liquid concentrates and becomes a thick, sweet liquid known as "boiled wort." This must is then fermented and aged in wooden barrels, resulting in a dark, concentrated liquid with a sweet and sour taste.
Vinegars are commonly used in the kitchen as condiments and to enhance the flavor of salads, vegetables, meat, fish, and other dishes. They can also be used as natural preservatives and in the preparation of sauces and dressings. Vinegars can have different flavors and aromas, depending on the product used to make them and the aging process.
What types of vinegars are there?
There are a wide variety of vinegars, each with a characteristic flavor and aroma. Some of the most common types are:
Wine vinegar is made from wine that is fermented and aged in oak barrels. It can be white or red and is commonly used in salads and meat dishes.
Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apples and is known for its sweet and sour taste. It is commonly used in salads and vegetable dishes.
Rice vinegar is made from fermented rice and is used in Asian cuisine to prepare sushi and other dishes.
Balsamic vinegar is made from grape must cooked and aged in wooden barrels. It has a sweet and sour flavor and is used in salads, meats, and pasta dishes.
Balsamic aceto is similar to balsamic vinegar, but with a thicker consistency and sweeter flavor. It is commonly used to drizzle over salads, fruit, and desserts.
Modena aceto is similar to balsamic aceto but is made from grape must cooked and aged in wooden barrels for at least 12 years.
Sherry vinegar is made from sherry wine and is commonly used in fish and shellfish dishes.

When and how to taste the vinegar?
Vinegars can be tasted at any time, but it is recommended to do so during the preparation and consumption of foods that contain these seasonings to better appreciate their flavors and aromas.
To taste the vinegars, it is advisable to use a teaspoon or a pipette to take a small amount and taste it directly. It is important to let the liquid sit on the tongue for a few seconds before swallowing it to better appreciate its flavor and acidity.
A tasting glass can also be used to taste the vinegars, similar to the one used to taste wines. In this way you can better appreciate the color, aroma, and flavor of the seasoning.
It is important to note that some vinegars are very strong and acidic, so it is recommended to use them sparingly. In addition, it is important to store them in a cool, dark place to prevent them from spoiling and losing their characteristic flavor and aroma.
