Yes, you are right, but there are quite a few brands out there with kosher balsamic, Bartenura makes one that is pretty available.
I don’t use Balsamic Vinegar , because I can’t find any products with a Kosher mark on it. Balsamic products come from grapes. Is this the reason that products from them may not automatically be Kosher???
