The flavors of white balsamic
vinegar and dark balsamic
are similar, although the dark
is slightly sweeter and more
syrupy. White balsamic has
more of a clean aftertaste.
We like to use white balsamic
in lighter-colored foods or
sauces so that the other
ingredients don’t become
discolored.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Cooking Light, our team of food editors, experienced cooks, and dietitians builds recipes with whole foods, whole
grains, and bigger portions of plants and seafood than meat. We emphasize oil-based fats more than saturated,
and we promote a balanced diet low in processed foods and added sugars.
We use ingredients that are high in saturated fat (butter), sodium (soy sauce), or both (bacon) in small amounts as
flavor-boosting solutions, rather than making them the focal point or cutting them out entirely. We don’t cook with
any products containing artificial sweeteners or trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils).
