Balsamic vinegar 

So what really goes into a $150 bottle of traditional aceto balsamico? The juice of 200 pounds of organic grapes, evaporated and “aged in wooden casks for at least 12 years, just like in Italy”—except it’s produced in the high desert of New Mexico. “Each sweet, silky drop explodes with flavor.” $150 for 4.5 oz.; organicbalsamic.com
