Honey Wine Vinegar

Honey vinegars are made by fermenting mead, a honey wine, which we source from craft producers in New England. After slow fermenting and aging the honey vinegar we blend it with raw honey.  The result is a delightful set of vinegars with tart, almost candy-like flavors that are perfect for vinaigrettes or splashing in a drink. 

Honey Wine FAQs

What is honey wine?

Honey wine, also known as mead, serves as a unique and exquisite base ingredient that we cherish for its natural sweetness and depth. We begin with honey wine, an ancient alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes enhanced with fruits or spices. This rich and flavorful liquid undergoes a secondary fermentation process under our careful supervision, where beneficial bacteria convert the remaining alcohol into acetic acid, creating our distinct honey wine vinegar. This method allows us to preserve the intricate flavors and aromatic qualities of the original honey wine, resulting in a vinegar that is not only versatile in culinary applications but also offers a nuanced taste profile that reflects the artistry and tradition of its origins.

What is the difference between honey wine and other wines?

Honey wine, or mead, differs from other wines primarily in its base ingredient and production process. While traditional wines are made from fermented grapes or other fruits, honey wine is crafted by fermenting honey with water. This gives mead a distinctive sweetness and complexity that you won’t find in grape-based wines. Additionally, mead can be flavored with various fruits, spices, or herbs during fermentation, adding unique nuances to its flavor profile. In contrast, other wines are typically flavored by the specific variety of grape or fruit used and the aging process. Overall, honey wine stands out for its rich, honeyed taste and versatility, which contrast with the diverse flavors and characteristics of traditional wines.

What makes honey wine vinegar so good?

In crafting our artisan honey wine vinegar, we start with honey wine, a rich and naturally sweet mead made by fermenting honey with water. This base ingredient provides a unique foundation that sets our vinegar apart. We carefully oversee a secondary fermentation process, where acetic acid bacteria transform the remaining alcohol in the honey wine into acetic acid. This conversion imparts a distinctive tangy flavor while preserving the subtle sweetness and complexity of the original honey wine. By managing this process meticulously, we ensure that our honey wine vinegar not only retains the nuanced flavors of its origin but also delivers a balanced and sophisticated taste that enhances a wide range of culinary creations.

Much Better Than The Imported Rice Wine Vinegars!

The difference between this vinegar and the imported versions is night and day. Unlike the imported ones that contain additional salts and sugars, AVW's is clean and refreshing, and wins the taste test hands down.

perfect

I cant decide if this or the honey vinegar is my favorite, both are almost sippable by themselves. For salads, fruit or even some desserts this is an incredible option.

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.

The best!

We have tasted every one in the sampler. The rice wine vinegar and malt vinegar are our favorites, but each one is wonderful!

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…

So tasty and effective!

I must take some ACV every evening to support digestion. I suffer from leaky gut and ACV is the only thing that helps me at night. Other brands are not good and have iffy additives that I don’t trust. Your ACV is clear, tastes better, and is effective! Thank you.

Have tasted it , it is very good. Have not used it yet. Will be making salad dressing first with it. Going to make baby greens, bacon, hard boiled eggs, and red onion to put it on. You have a recipe for dressing that I will use . Please keep up with the recipes they look great and will try them with other products of yours. Thank you again for taking pride in your product, you can taste the difference.

The MCV is good. It's not as sweet as I feared it might be. Instead, it's more of a hint of maple. It will do very well as a base for my salad dressing and as a marinade. I think it will also pair well with veggies either roasted or done in an air fryer. Thanks for another really nice vinegar.
