Wine Vinegar And Balsamic Vinegar
Vinegar has been known and used since the most ancient civilisations, as it is proven by the finding of an Egyptian vase — dating back to 8.000 years before Christ — that was used for vinegar preservation. This is oldest historical evidence for vinegar’s appreciation, but many were those who used this pruduct and praised its qualities in the old times. Pliny wrote about the “sweetness” of this unique seasoning, which was used by the people of Athens. Hippocrates was one of the first doctors who prescribes vinegar to treat troubles of the respiratory tracs and used it as disinfectant and anti-infiammatory remedy for wounds and ulcers. The praises and virtues of this healthy seasoning were long sung through all the centuries until present days. Today- thanks to a report card issued by the Pharmacy institute of Milan University — so many good qualities are scientifically attributed to vinegar that it can be considered by full right a fundamental nutrition element.
