In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It  is permissible. (Balsamic vinegar)

Ingredients such as white wine, cider and spirit  vinegars are permissible.

Vinegar is produced by two successive microbial processes. The first being an alcoholic fermentation (which is Haraam) and the second an oxidation of alcohol by aceto bacter, when it's molecular structure is changed and it ceases to be an intoxicant. Other varieties of vinegar are produced from beetroot, tarragon and alcoholic spirits. In vinegar the intoxicating factor is destroyed by the microbial process of oxidation hence it becomes permissible. Islam permits any variety of vinegar to be used as a condiment or preservative. (Muslim Food Guide - Page A26/27)

      Depends on your beliefs as well. Even if it says it's halal, if you doubt it then just don't have it.

    That does not make any sense. What "depends on your belief"?

    Belief and doubt are separate things.. there is no such thing as doubt when it comes to your beleif..
