I believe that a quality balsamic vinegar can take foods to new heights! After my mom and pop came back from Italy for the first time, our house was filled with delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar. After I graduated high school, our entire family took a trip to Italy where we stayed with a family in Tuscany, and traveled to Rome, Florence and the Amalfi Coast. I think this trip really made love Italian food even more. Everything was divine! It didn't matter if we were in the Trattoria or the Ristorante, it was all the most amazing cuisine I have ever tasted. Any who...back to the vinegar.....I would like to try some more oil oils and vinegars from around the world. I found a great import store in Fairport, Lombardi's, they have a LARGE quantity of quality Italian imports and she even makes homemade soups and entrees daily, besides fresh sauces, meats, pastas, ect. There is one section of olive oil and balsamic vinegar from around the world. Has anyone tried any of the specialities at this store? Whats good?
