The Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar is truly a super quick recipe that will amaze you with its taste and aroma. It keeps for a long time, both in a well-sealed pantry and in the refrigerator…even for this preparation, I usually call my niece Matilde, who has now become my personal assistant. Together we make a lot, especially around the Christmas holidays, we pour it into small bottles and make many gifts… for years now, I always give culinary products, prepared with my hands or with those of my niece, to my friends, relatives, or acquaintances. I find they are the best presents!!!
