@sueinmn Chocolate Balsamic vinegar? Really? There is such a thing? I love balsamic vinegar dressings. My son turned me on to a white balsamic vinegar dressing at Whole Foods and I love that one too. For a regular balsamic vinegar dressing, I like Litehouse. Wishbone used to have a lite Balsamic basil dressing but it does not seem to be available anymore.

Hi,
Welcome to the world of balsamic vinegar varieties. I have Middle Earth White Coconut Balsamic vinegar that I drizzle over strawberries or any fruit that is not as sweet as it should be. Some of the oils and vinegars I see in the small oil and vinegar stores are intriguing. You can sample and ask the best way to use them. I keep adding to my collection or get as gifts and half of one shelf in my pantry is vinegars and other condiments and another shelf is half full of assorted oils...some for cooking and some for drizzling. Kicks it up a notch.

JK - Lots of specialty shops sell flavored balsamic vinegars and oils. We found one (pre-pandemic) in Gruene, Texas and stocked up because it keeps forever. We got dark balsamic with Mediterranean spices, Light with citrus, light with raspberry (also good on ice cream) dark chocolate and a few others. Adds a whole new taste to fruits, veggies, roasts...
I might be a snob, but I cannot but without tasting first because some don't taste very good to my palate, and in some shops, none have tasted good to me. I think there is great skill involved in crafting good ones. We are fortunate to have a cheese shop near us where we can taste before buying..
