How do you keep homemade Balsamic vingerette from thickening?

Question

The olive oil turns thick and white after a week in the refrigerator .I shake it up but it still has white chunks in it and doesn't pour too well.

The Unknown Chef · Answer

I am a former professional chef and never chill either, I worked with 10 yr old Balsamic and have had 50 yr old, it is aged in wood, outside in the warm air, it cannot spoil, even the really cheap store brands which are vinegar, sugar caramel colour and flavours are not going to spoil, I only buy enough Olive oil to do me a couple of months.

Try letting it return to room temperature.  Sounds like the fat in the dressing is congealing at lower temp.

Don't put it in the fridge. It will not spoil. It has vinegar in it.
