No. Balsamic Vinegar doesn't contain salt.It is very dark brown in color and its flavor is rich, sweet, and complex, with the finest grades being the product of years of aging in a successive number of casks made of various types of wood (ie. oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry, juniper, ash, and acacia). Originally it was a product available only to the Italian upper classes, a cheaper form of balsamic vinegar became widely known and available around the world in the late twentieth century.
True balsamic vinegar is aged for 12 to 25 years. Balsamic vinegar's that have been aged for up to 100 years are available, though they are usually very expensive. The commercial balsamic sold in supermarkets is typically made with red wine vinegar or concentrated Grape Juice mixed with a strong vinegar, which is laced with caramel and sugar. Regardless of how it is produced, balsamic vinegar must be made from a grape product.
Traditional Balsamic vinegar is a reduction of pressed Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes. The resulting thick syrup called mosto cotto is then aged in seven different sizes and types of wooden barrelsor casks for a minimum of 12years.
The resulting concentrate known as balsamic vinegar does not have any added sugar just the natural sugars from the grapes and flavours sweet and sour of the fragrant wood casks.
