Sherry vinegar
Vinegar, from the French 'vin aigre', is a product obtained by the action of acetic bacteria on a hydroalcoholic solution. Vinegar can be produced from any food that ferments alcohol. Hence, there are apple vinegars, beet vinegars, rice vinegars and, of course, wine vinegars. In the case of Sherry Vinegar, certification is exclusively for Sherry Wines, either from the year without fortification or aged wines.
The secret of the unique character and extraordinary quality of Sherry Vinegar lies in its distinguished origin. Sherry Vinegar receives its exclusive personality from the Sherry Wines, noble wines par excellence, from which it inherits unsurpassed qualities and nuances. It is, therefore, the region known as Marco de Jerez, where the unique Vinagres de Jerez are produced.
