Is Balsamic Vinegar Gluten-Free?
Not all balsamic vinegar is gluten-free. This vinegar gets its deep color and rich flavor from long aging in oak casks. The more inexpensive varieties may get that deep color from caramel coloring or other additives, which can contain gluten. To be safe, buy the most expensive balsamic vinegar you can afford, and be sure the ingredient label has only one ingredient: vinegar.
