What are the solid objects in my vinegar?!
Answers: I have a bottle of white balsamic vinegar that is about 3 months old and has only about 1/4 of the vinegar gone. Today I noticed that, lingering at the bottom of the bottle, are a few mealy-looking solid things that look almost like they could be rinds from grapes. I didn't notice them there before, but maybe they were and I just didn't notice. Does vinegar solidify ever at the bottom a little bit like this (at room temperature)? Does this mean my vinegar has gone bad?
It's called the mother-the culture that fermented the vinegar has continued to grow. As long as the vinegar smells OK, just pour it through a filter and all is well.
It could be what the vinegar was made out of. I sometimes get those things swimming around in there.
i sincerely hope it is not wash back from a big night when you ran out of wine! just kidding. i have no idea, but i would toss it just incase.
best wishes.
White balsamic vinegar? What on earth is that?
