President's Choice Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette

This 350 ml glass bottle is a balsamic vinaigrette sweetened with maple syrup and cut with canola oil. Superstore lists it for leafy greens, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.

Loblaw Companies Limited, the Toronto grocer that launched President's Choice in 1984, owns the brand. The listing and the label both mark Prepared in Canada. Maple syrup is named as Canadian; balsamic vinegar is not.

Shoppers get a rich, tangy-sweet pour. Each 32 ml serving carries 80 calories, 7 g of fat, 4 g of sugars, and 190 mg of sodium. Mustard and sulphites sit in the ingredient list.

Real Canadian Superstore had it at $4.00 ($1.14 per 100 ml). That same SKU is listed at No Frills.
