GREAT VINEGAR. MOTHER MADE US DO IT. ®

Apple Cider Hot Vinegar

$13.00

A truly unique vinegar and one of our favorites. Our Apple Cider Hot Vinegar is made by co-fermenting local apple cider with a mix of fruit, spices, and peppers. It will start with a slightly smoky or bacon flavor followed by a savory note and, finally, just a touch of heat.   This is not a hot sauce but a one-of-a-kind vinegar that we add to everything other than our breakfast cereal.

Apple Cider Hot Vinegar FAQs

Is your Hot Vinegar like a hot sauce?

No, not at all.

Our Apple and Pear Cider Vinegar is definitely a vinegar and not a hot sauce. It is a bit hot but smoke is its more defining quality. It also has savory qualities. It is everything and we love it.

Is ACV (apple cider vinegar) good for you?

There is a lot buried in this question.

We believe that cider vinegar and other vinegars are good for you because cooking with vinegar usually means healthier cooking and eating. We focus on the taste and quality of our vinegar but are also proud of the fact that our vinegar is slow fermented and raw.

That said we know there is a lot of information out there on the health benefits of apple cider vinegar and other vinegars. Some of it is grounded in science and learned experience, other claims are a bit scary and may prevent people from seeking treatment for real medical problems. We never want to be part of the later and encourage you to use our vinegar to promote a healthy lifestyle and diet not as a medical treatment.

Medical journals and articles from academic institutions are a great source of information on what has been tested, proven, disproven or is untested regarding the specific health benefits of vinegar. You may want to start with this article from the University of Chicago Medical School.Please don't take pure vinegar shots. We know it is a thing and that as vinegar makers we should welcome the business. We do not. Vinegar is an acid. Drinking pure vinegar means you are exposing the enamel of your teeth to acid. Instead get the same benefits by using vinegar in your food (unheated) or by making some great vinegar drinks or cocktails. Frankly it just tastes so much better as well!

Does your apple cider vinegar contain mother?

Yes, but. Our vinegar is raw and does contain live vinegar bacteria. You will see that some of our vinegars contain or develop sediment or mother. This process happens naturally because the vinegar is still alive and the bacteria may continue to work as they are exposed to oxygen. We do not, however, specifically bottle vinegars in a way to force giant chunks of mother into the bottle for marketing purposes.

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.

Perfect! Such an unusual addition to my kitchen! Delicious!

This vinegar is unusual. It is not hot per se but there is a pleasant bite with the vinegar to make it adaptable to anything. Add some to salsa!

Hot MEANS FLAVOR!!

Having tried a few of the vinegars (none disappoint!), I pick the Hot Vinegar as my current favorite. It is complex, and almost can be used alone on a salad (tossed greens,)..and of course, a few shakes added to a soup, a tomato sauce or a marinade...go crazy !!!
Highly recommend...it is not "HOT" in the traditional way I think of that word..it is just more flavorful and grabs my taste buds !!

These vinegars are wonderful. Each flavour has liveliness without giving a catch in your throat. The Apple Cider Hot Vinegar works especially well in Soups! Culinarily speaking, all these vinegars add life to the Party of Food!
