GREAT VINEGAR. MOTHER MADE US DO IT. ®

Sweet and Tangy Vinegar

You can think of Sweet and Tangy vinegars as New England’s answer to balsamic. The naturally fermented vinegars in this collection are finished with a small amount of boiled fruit juice that contrasts sweetness with acidity. We do not use any thickeners or colorants and these vinegars will pour with only a slightly thicker consistency than our other vinegars. Crowd pleasers, especially for those who have a sweet tooth!

Sweet & Tangy FAQs

How can vinegar be sweet and tangy?

In our approach to crafting artisan vinegar, we aim to achieve a perfect balance between sweet and tangy flavors, creating a product that stands out in culinary applications. The sweetness in our vinegars often comes from the natural sugars present in our carefully selected base ingredients, such as honey, fruit, or wine. Through our meticulous fermentation process, these sugars are transformed into acetic acid, providing the characteristic tang that defines vinegar. However, we retain just enough residual sweetness to complement the acidity, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors.

This sweet and tangy profile allows our vinegars to enhance dishes by adding complexity and depth, making them versatile ingredients that can elevate everything from salads and marinades to desserts and cocktails.

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.

Can you taste the fruit in your vinegar?

In our vinegars, tasting the subtle fruit flavors is one of the unique pleasures we offer. When we create vinegars from fruit-based ingredients, such as apple cider, berry wine, or even infused varieties, the natural essence of the fruit often shines through. Our careful fermentation process preserves these delicate flavors, allowing the vinegar to retain the aromatic and taste profiles of the original fruit. This means that when you use our vinegars, you can often detect hints of apple, berry, or citrus, depending on the source.

These fruit flavors add a layer of complexity and freshness to our vinegars, making them not only tangy but also vibrant and nuanced, enhancing the culinary experience in a way that standard vinegars cannot match.

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.

2 family noncredited "chefs" are to be recipients.. Both are very talented and I believe they will enjoy new creations with oil and 10 miniature vinegar (2 5pc samplers). I'll let you know their comments after New Year.

The best

I bought 4 for holiday gifts and one for myself. We love them. The flavors are just so good. But on another note. I somehow deleted the email from you for my 22 dollar gift card. Can you please send me a replacement. Thank you. Ruth Ireland.

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.

My order comes in the mail promptly and beautifully packaged- it is a joy to unpack and use!

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.
