When a company that’s been making balsamic since 1605 calls one vinegar their classic, you know it has to be good. This liquid goodness, officially titled 2 Medaglie d'Oro meaning “two gold medals,” manages to straddle between sweet and sour, making it extra versatile. (Fun fact: The name nods at the awards Giusti’s balsamic collected at international fairs throughout the 1800s.) Use it fresh or heated—and then enjoy those notes of mature fruit, licorice, and black pepper.
