"Traditional" Balsamic of Modena needed!
I'm not looking for a watery vinegar that some company slapped a label on to indicate that it's made out of balsamic. I'm looking for the actual traditional balsamic, which is thick and syrupy. I need it to make my salad dressing for Thanksgiving and didn't realize it was such a rarety down here!
I used to get mine from a company called Dash -n- Drizzle up north but they don't sell outside the region and the cost for delivery is actually more than the cost of the bottle so that won't be an option.
It is similar in consistency to balsamic glaze, but it has no added ingredients. It is fermented grape must, boiled into a reduction and stored in a wooden keg for 12-50 years (depending on the quality), and made exclusively in Modena, Italy. Several online companies sell it but again - shipping costs are prohibitive.
