The catch

It is oil based, so at 100 calories and 10 grams of fat per 2 tablespoon serving the calories climb quickly if you pour freely. (source)

The honest take

This is a balsamic vinaigrette built on avocado oil instead of the soybean or canola oil in most bottled dressings, with organic balsamic vinegar doing the sweetening and no added sugar. Per 2 tablespoons you get 100 calories, 10 grams of fat and just 1 gram of sugar, with a short recognizable ingredient list and only 125 mg of sodium. Because it is oil based, roughly nine tenths of those calories come from fat, so it is easy to over pour if you are watching intake. If you want a clean balsamic without seed oils or cane sugar it is one of the safer bottled picks, though you pay for it at around 5.49 dollars for 8 ounces.

Who it's for

✓ Buy it if

Anyone avoiding seed oils and added sugar who wants a grab and go balsamic that still reads like a real ingredient list.

✕ Skip it if

You are counting calories closely, since 10 grams of fat per 2 tablespoons adds up fast when you pour with a heavy hand.
