Did you know that most supermarket balsamic is really just white vinegar with flavorings like sugar and corn syrup? If you don't think you could tell the difference, wait until you taste the vinegar from O&CO., a company specializing in gourmet products, often found among the world’s best small artisan producers. The velvety texture and sweet, complex flavor instantly reveals the difference. And this balsamic, along with the company’s other great vinegars (like purple basil), pairs so nicely with O&CO.’s Affiorato olive oil, fresh from the 2012 harvest—so vibrantly green it doesn't even look like olive oil. (But, oh, that taste will tell you it is!) For flavored olive oils—basil, lemon, truffle, chile pepper—O&CO.'s are also made with the freshest ingredients. Finish your cooking with a hit of O&CO.'s white truffle salt.
