GREAT VINEGAR. MOTHER MADE US DO IT. ®

American Barrel California Sherry Vinegar

$13.00

Made with California Sherry this vinegar is our take on a classic Spanish-style vinegar with some unmistakable added swagger from The Golden State. Sherry is a fortified wine from Spain's Jerez region, renowned for its wide range of styles from dry to sweet. Its complex flavors and versatility make it a favorite for both sipping and cooking, especially when it comes to sherry vinegar!

This nutty vinegar is double barrel aged. 

It first spends 3 years at the winery in California.  We then slow ferment it in small batches using a unique process we recreated from the early 1800s and then barrel age it again.  Because sherry vinegar is higher in acid the fermentation is extra slow which contributes to a mellower flavor, despite the higher acid.

Like all of our vinegars, this vinegar is raw and unfiltered and is then hand bottled for you to enjoy.

Sherry Vinegar FAQs

What distinguishes your sherry vinegar from other vinegars?

Our sherry vinegar is distinguished by its rich, complex flavor, which comes from aging in wooden barrels using traditional methods. Made from high-quality sherry wine, our vinegar undergoes a slow fermentation process, allowing it to develop deep, nuanced flavors with hints of oak, caramel, and nuts. This artisanal approach ensures that our sherry vinegar stands out from mass-produced varieties, offering a sophisticated and robust taste experience.

How can we use your artisan sherry vinegar in our cooking?

Our artisan sherry vinegar is incredibly versatile and can elevate a variety of dishes. It’s perfect for creating elegant salad dressings and vinaigrettes, deglazing pans to make rich, flavorful sauces, or adding a touch of acidity to soups and stews. We also recommend drizzling it over roasted vegetables, using it in marinades for meats, or even splashing it onto seafood to enhance its natural flavors. Its complex profile makes it a staple in both everyday and gourmet cooking.

What makes your sherry vinegar a healthier choice?

We prioritize quality and purity in our production process, ensuring our artisan sherry vinegar is free from artificial additives and preservatives commonly found in store-bought brands.

The natural fermentation process preserves beneficial compounds like antioxidants and polyphenols, which can contribute to better digestion and overall health. By choosing our artisan sherry vinegar, you’re opting for a product that not only enhances your dishes with exceptional flavor but also supports a healthier lifestyle.

Worth Waiting For

Modern vinegars have lost their way, so we stepped back in time to recreate a process from 1823.  Our equipment doesn’t exist anymore so we remade it in partnership with local universities.

After slow fermentation our vinegars are barrel aged before being hand bottled raw and unfiltered. It all takes a lot more time and care but we think the results are spectacular. I hope you will too.

Favorite Flavor

My personal favorite. Made a nice salad dressing with dijon mustard, sugar, lemon juice, juice of a clemantine, olive oil, dill, and this vinegar for tonights salad. Probably the best salad dressing I ever made. I need to start mixing cocktails with these vinegars next.

Exquisite!

This is a lovely, balanced sherry vinegar. The flavor is complex, and the acidity is just right: pointed and and just a bit mellow.

Delicious vinegar

There really is a difference between this amazing vinegar..all varieties….and supermarket. The taste is crisp and clean….I literally drink it with water…it’s that good. Of course, your salads will sing and a splash or two will brighten almost any dish and make it better. Wonderful product…

Great vinegars for … anything

Stumbled across these guys accidentally, decided to risk buying some. I like vinegar, but it’s true most aren’t very flavorful. American Vinegar Works is the real stuff; you can really drink it. (Sure, in small amounts.) Great with all sorts of foods, for marinating or finishing. The flavors come through very clearly, which is amazing … the sherry tastes like sherry, the beer tastes like beer. I’ve tried a bunch of them, and I keep coming back.
