Live Vinegar with Smoked Damson Plum

To our aged live plum vinegar from the Dunajec River Valley in Southern Poland, we added traditional plum-wood smoked damsons to obtain a unique vinegar with a complex sweet-smoky flavour.

Storage

Store tightly corked in a cool, dark place. The vinegar may be kept in the fridge, but this is not required for its safe storage.

Our living vinegar contains a culture of acetic bacteria which can cause the formation of a "mother of vinegar". This is a natural, safe and healthy process.  If a mother forms in your vinegar, you can simply strain it out before use.

Available in bottles of 100 ml, 250 ml or 500 ml.
