Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between balsamic and apple cider vinegar?
Balsamic vinegar, aged from grape must, offers a sweet, complex flavour for finishing dishes, while apple cider vinegar is fermented from apples, delivering a sharp, fruity acidity suited to dressings and health tonics. Both are versatile but shine in different roles—balsamic for drizzling, cider for mixing.
How should I store vinegar?
Store vinegars in a cool, dark place like a pantry cupboard, tightly sealed to prevent evaporation. Most last indefinitely due to their acidity, but check for sediment in balsamic, which is natural and can be shaken. Refrigerate fruit vinegars if you prefer to extend freshness.
Are your vinegars suitable for vegan diets?
Yes, all vinegars in our collection are naturally vegan, derived from fruits, grains, or wines without animal products. Always check labels for any added flavourings, but our selection prioritises pure, plant-based options.
Can I use vinegar for cleaning?
Absolutely, white and apple cider vinegars make excellent natural cleaners for glass, counters, and descaling kettles due to their acetic acid content. Dilute 1:1 with water for everyday use, but avoid on natural stone surfaces.
What vinegar is best for pickling?
White wine or distilled white vinegar with 5% acidity works best for pickling, providing clear results without overpowering flavours. Use our rice vinegar for milder Asian-style pickles.
