Balsamic vinegar (Italian: aceto balsamico) is a dark, concentrated, strongly flavored vinegar originating from Modena, Italy, made in whole or in part from grapes: freshly pressed grape juice with all skins, seeds and stems.

Balsamic vinegar, since it is no longer intoxicating, is considered halal. A Muslim is allowed to buy balsamic vinegar from a non-Muslim who sells it
