Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 , That place sounds really interesting--thanks for sending. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the twin cities. Rhonda Balsamic vinegar I was in a shop the other day called The Olive Grove (theolivegroveoliveoil.com). It's in Mendota Heights mn. I was talking with the woman about balsamic vinegar and she had one with no sugar in it. I think it was around $19/bottle. I know I saw a post recently where it was stated that true balsamic vinegar is $200/ounce. I just talked with the woman again and asked her that and she said they sell vinegar and slap on ridiculous prices. I can say that this was the best vinegar I have ever had. And the olive oil was phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 How do you know that there is no sugar in the balsamic vinegar? I thought the sugar was integral to the way balsamic is fermented. I would love to be able to buy balsamic and use it again!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I explained to the owner that I couldn't eat any sugar and she said here wasn't any in the kind I bought. Maybe I'm taking a leap of faith and trusting her.

Judy > No, sugar is used in cheap versions because it's not nearly as time-consuming, and thus more " cost effective. " The best quality balsamic vinegar uses only grape must (i.e., the entire grape: skins, " meat " /juic, seeds) and then ferments the must in a controlled manner. n -- Now available.
