Best use for expensive, old balsamico?

Aged balsamic vinegar recipes/uses? I recently came into possession of a very nice bottle of 25 year old aged balsamic vinegar. I've had it over vanilla gelato, but am wondering if there's other recipes or ways of utilizing/showcasing it's distinctive flavor.

The only other recipes I know of I found from the company itself, and cursory googling. Ideally I'd like something along the same vein of the gelato dish, in that it really showcases the flavor without using up too much of the actual balsamico.

Thanks!

Quick & healthy food pairing suggestions? In an effort to adhere to a better diet, I'm looking for additional food pairings that are (1) fairly healthy, (2) quickly and easily-prepared, and (3) good-tasting.

Examples:
- apple slices + peanut butter
- toast + honey + banana slices
- cottage cheese + pineapple chunks
- wheat crackers + gouda (or other) cheese
- tomato slices + mozzaralla

Thanks.
