About Oils, Vinegars & Dressings
Our Oils, Vinegars & Dressings collection offers 42 versatile products to transform your meals. Indulge in rich Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, perfect for glazing roasted vegetables or drizzling over creamy burrata. For Asian-inspired dishes, try Heng Shun Chinkiang Vinegar in stir-fries or Obento Rice Wine Vinegar for sushi rice – both deliver that sharp, umami tang essential to authentic Chinese and Japanese cuisine.

Pickle lovers will appreciate Mrs Darlington's Pickled Baby Onions, ideal for cheeseboards, or Sliced Beetroot in Vinegar for quick salads. Dressings like Briannas Dijon Honey Mustard add a sweet-sharp kick to chicken salads or ham glazes. These high-quality ingredients are carefully selected for purity and flavour, free from unnecessary additives where possible.

Use cases abound: whip up a classic Greek salad with olive oil and vinegar, marinate meats in balsamic reductions, or create zingy dressings for summer barbecues. Store vinegars in a cool, dark cupboard to preserve potency – they last indefinitely. Oils benefit from fridge storage post-opening to prevent rancidity. Pair with fresh herbs or spices for custom blends, and experiment with global recipes like Italian caprese or British piccalilli. Stock your kitchen with these essentials for effortless, flavour-packed cooking every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store vinegars and oils?

Vinegars are shelf-stable and best kept in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat and light to maintain their acidity and flavour. Oils, especially extra virgin olive oil, should be stored in a cool place or fridge after opening to slow oxidation and rancidity – bring to room temperature before use.

What's the difference between balsamic and rice wine vinegar?

Balsamic vinegar, aged from grape must, offers sweet, syrupy depth ideal for reductions and dressings. Rice wine vinegar, milder and slightly sweet, is key in Asian cooking for pickling, sushi, and light marinades without overpowering delicate flavours.

Are these products suitable for vegan diets?

Most of our oils, vinegars, and dressings are naturally vegan, derived from plants like grapes, rice, or mustard seeds. Always check individual labels for any rare additives, but staples like balsamic and Chinkiang vinegar are reliably plant-based.

Can I use these for pickling at home?

Absolutely – our vinegars like Chinkiang or rice wine are perfect for home pickling vegetables, onions, or beetroot. Use a 5% acidity vinegar, combine with salt and spices, and follow sterilised jar methods for safe, crunchy results.

What dressings pair best with salads?

Briannas Dijon Honey Mustard excels on peppery rocket or grilled chicken salads for its creamy balance. For classic green salads, mix olive oil with balsamic vinegar; adjust ratios to taste for the perfect emulsified dressing.
