Where to Buy Balsamic Vinegar
“Where to” is a column whose purpose is to summarize the content of many posts by product. Where can you buy Parmigiano? And where to eat the best gelato? Find out here!
Balsamic vinegar is sold about everywhere- you can find it at Safeway, Trader Joe’s, and pretty much every store right now! However, traditional balsamic vinegar is a harder find. We’re talking about the original product, created over the span of decades in Modena, and so sweet and smooth it’s a perfect complement to strawberries and ice cream!
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar is pricy. Make sure it carries the wording “Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale” on the label to guarantee its originality, and expect to pay well over $100 for a very small bottle. It’s not an everyday use product! However, it makes for a wonderful wedding gift, as it is rare, sophisticated, and pricey enough to make a treasured find- my own bottle was a wedding gift!
In the Bay Area you can find Traditional Balsamic Vinegar in a few places. Head to these retailers for a real treat!
