You don't come across something as wonderful as this every day. This mild, fruity vinegar comes from the Casa Stivalet plantation in the beautiful state of Veracruz. This isn't plain vinegar with banana flavor added; it's made from fermented platano machos, a breed of bananas somewhere between a regular banana and a plantain.
From: Rancho Gordo
The flavor is fruity, and while it's clearly banana, it's not too sweet or cloying. The acidity is 6%. Mixed in salads, there's a vague but wonderful tropical quality that transcends cuisines.
