The classic combo of sweet aged balsamic vinegar and strawberries has been a favorite of mine. Finally, I’ve found it in a bottle. While wondering around Old Town in Chicago, we mosied into Old Town Oil not knowing that we’d be taken on a world wind tasting tour of their shop. We were given tastes of different oil and vinegar combinations that really brought out complexity equal to wine. One of my favorites was their strawberry balsamic vinegar. It has the perfect level of sweet strawberry flavor and tangy aged sweet balsamic vinegar…mmm. I can’t wait to put it on ice cream, strawberries, add it to whipped cream, use it for a feta spinach salad….the possibilities are endless. Another great vinegar was their 18 year aged balsamic, so rich and plummy. I think that will be my next culinary splurge if I finish this strawberry, which I suspect I will.
