Nevertheless, balsamic cream is increasingly gaining the favor of culinary experts thanks to its unique taste and unique aroma. In addition, the numerous healing qualities of balsamic cream are also important, making it a rather desirable supplement to basic food for many.

In fact, balsamic cream is almost an identical product, which is balsamic, only in a significantly thicker and more viscous form. This peculiar product is usually used both for decoration and as an excellent dressing for many dishes based on meat, fish or vegetables, giving them a delicious taste and aroma.

The use of balsamic cream, like vinegar, is primarily characteristic of traditional Italian cuisine. Balsamic notes are always easily recognizable, although it is often added in very small quantities.

Balsamic cream can be used as a marinade for vegetables and meat - in any case, the taste of the prepared dishes will be very thin.

By the way, often sweet and sour balsamic cream is added to salads made with fresh fruits and berries. Strawberry berries on lettuce leaves drizzled with this aromatic additive are unusually tasty.

In addition to excellent gastronomic qualities, the amazing useful properties of balsamic cream are also known. As it turned out, it has an anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antiseptic effect. In addition, balsamic cream is considered a powerful diuretic and choleretic agent, while helping to increase appetite, as well as improve digestive processes.
