Recently on a lazy day, my husband and I were wandering around some quaint shops in an older part of town. We ran across The Tasteful Olive, a shop that sells various flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars. We are perfectly content with the price and quality of our Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and I just walked by the flavored olive oils. I wanted to taste the balsamic vinegars.

Using the tiny tasting cups, I started making the rounds. As you might expect, there were some that I liked, but others that didn't suit my taste. When I tasted the Vermont Maple Balsamic Vinegar, my eyes flew open! Wow! It sounded strange, but tasted like paradise in a tiny cup. I continued tasting, but my thoughts kept returning to the Vermont Maple flavor. The good folks at The Tasteful Olive were happy to decant a bottle for me. Now, I'm sharing it with you.

Can you imagine maple flavored balsamic vinegar? It has the richness that you would expect in a balsamic vinegar. There's also a touch of sweetness, and did I mention the maple? It is intensely flavored like the best genuine maple syrup that you ever tasted. There is no lingering aftertaste, just the burst of flavor when it hits your tongue.

Vermont Maple Balsamic Vinegar can be used in a variety of ways. You can use it as a topping for waffles, pancakes, and ice cream. Seriously! Glazing meat, like ham, pork, or bacon, adds an extra dimension of flavor.

If your local stores don't carry the Vermont Maple Balsamic Vinegar, you can put The Tasteful Olive into your search engine. Find their website and order a bottle from them. They are happy to ship a bottle of this delightful condiment to you.
