Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does this balsamic vinaigrette need to be refrigerated?
A: Not until it's opened. This dressing is shelf-stable and can be stored in your pantry. After opening, we recommend refrigeration to maintain the best quality and freshness.
Q: Is this dressing gluten-free and vegan?
A: Yes, it is confirmed gluten-free. It is also suitable for vegetarian diets. Please note that while it is vegetarian, those following a strict vegan diet should verify the source of the Dijon mustard, as some brands may use wine that is processed with animal products.
Q: What is the difference between this and a plain balsamic vinegar?
A: This is a ready-made vinaigrette, already emulsified with extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and seasonings. It is ready to use straight from the jug, whereas plain balsamic vinegar would require whisking with oil and other ingredients to create a dressing.
Q: Can I use this as a marinade for steak?
A: Absolutely. The acidity in the balsamic vinegar helps break down the protein fibers, making the steak more tender, while the sugars contribute to a delicious caramelized crust on the grill.
Q: Is this product made in Canada?
A: Yes, Sysco Imperial Balsamic Olive Oil Dressing is prepared in Canada, supporting domestic manufacturing and adhering to Canadian food safety standards
