Different types of vinegar; not only Balsamic Vinegar

Today we are not talking about the Balsamic Vingera of Modena, but we are going to face a different argument.

The different types of vinegar are mostly unknown to the market, but I think one should be aware of their existence. Indeed, here you are a little guide to the different types of vinegar. Curious? Let’s read!
