Paladin Vinegars - 500ML
The word VINEGAR comes from the French VINAIGRE meaning SOUR WINE.
The process involves fermentation of natural sugars of the grape into ethanol by yeast action. Then a further process involves the bacterium (Acetobacter) which converts the alcohol into acetic acid, so forming vinegar. Our wine vinegars come from the best grape varieties of the Iberian Peninsula. Our Rose Vinegar is our newest product which offers a unique sweetness and subtle flavour which like our Red & Wine 500ml vinegars offer versatility in recipe ideas, able to be used in sauces, marinades or simply a dressing. The health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar in particular are been well documented, with new medical research suggesting its use can help in acid reflux, lower blood pressure, improve diabetes and help support weight loss.
