Do you refrigerate Balsamic vinegar after you open it?

I do but the bottle doesn't say needs to be refrigerated.

No, I do not place any flavor or type of balsamic vinegar in the refrigerator. I buy from a local gourmet shop, DiOlivas (St. Louis region). I have an entire crate of flavored balsamic vinegars (also many types of EVOO) that I collect and keep in a VPH storage crate. Some I have had for at least four years. I have never had an issue either.

My latest bottle was Blood Orange balsamic.

I don't and have never had a problem with any kind of vinager.

No, I do not. I use both dark and light balsamic and they are stored in a cupboard.

No, and I do not think that you need to refrigerate any vinegar. I have a nice selection of vinegars and keep them in my pantry. For some reason, though, I always refrigerate rice wine vinegar.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@hopi So many have said they don't refrigerate it, but I refrigerate all my vinegars - probably because my mother did.

I don't refrigerate vinegars but I do refrigerate oils so they last longer and don't go rancid sitting in the cabinet.

@jpie My source for good oils and vinegars is The Olive Scene (dot com). If your store offers Grapefruit White Balsamic, I urge you to try it. It's all I can do to keep from drinking it straight from the bottle.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
