I have only bought one brown / real balsamic in close to 15 years, and it was a $3 bottle of President’s Choice, so I can’t compare regular balsamic, or red balsamic, to white condimento in my cooking.
I basically use white balsamic, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar and unseasoned rice vinegar in 99 percent of my cooking and salads.
When I buy sherry vinegar, apple cider cider or malt vinegar, the mother usually
grows faster than I use the bottle, and I usually throw the rest of the bottle out a year or 2 after I purchased it.
