In love with… Canadian Ice Wine Vinegar
If your travel brings you to St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, please drop by Kozlik’s Canadian Mustard on the ground floor. Their mustard is great (despite the fame of Dijon mustard, mustard seeds are actually supplied by the Canadians) but it was the Ice Wine Vinegar that blew me away.
Prettily packaged in a CN-Tower like bottle, this vinegar is a balance of sweet and sour with complexity of the lovely Ice Wine. It is unlike the normal white/red wine vinegar which is more vinegary or the typical balsamic wine which is thick and syrupy. I refuse to use this precious liquid other than mixing it with olive oil, salt, and pepper on top of crisp greens.
It’s not cheap though. I don’t remember how much it was but I can assure you it is worth every loonie.
Hi I think I know which mustard seeds you are talking about. I like St Lawrence Market very much. I have a post on the Peameal Bacon Sandwich in my blog.
V: Yes! I’ve seen that post and that attracted me to your blog. I mean, someone knows what I’m talking about!
