" This pantry staple is traditionally made in Modena, Italy, from Trebbiano grapes that are cooked and then barrel-fermented. Prices can vary from 13 cents to $200 an ounce, depending on grape quality and aging. We tested 16 (with a cap at $2/oz.) to find the most buonissimo of the bunch. FIRST PLACE: With the perfect balance of sweet and tart, Star Balsamic Vinegar of Modena ($3.49 for 8.5 oz.) triumphed thanks to its mild, &amp;quot;well-rounded&amp;quot; flavor with &amp;quot;caramel-like&amp;quot; notes \u2014 great for everyday use.  HONORABLE MENTIONS: Another brand with a high quality-to-cost ratio: Trader Joe&amp;#039;s Gold Quality Balsamic Vinegar ($4 for 8.5 oz.).   The &amp;quot;fruity&amp;quot; sweetness of Roland Gold Balsamic Vinegar of Modena ($9.20 for 8.45 oz.) was balanced by a &amp;quot;bit of bite.&amp;quot; This &amp;quot;slightly syrupy&amp;quot; contender elicited an enthusiastic &amp;quot;Yummy!&amp;quot; from several tasters.
