BARREL AGED HIGH QUALITY WINE VINEGAR
Made from red or white wine, wine vinegar is the most commonly used vinegar in Mediterranean countries and central Europe. As with wine, better quality wine vinegars are matured in wood for up to twenty years and exhibit complex, mellow flavors. Wine vinegar usually has lower acidity than white or cider vinegars. Some of the more premium wine vinegars are made from wine varieties such as champagne, sherry or pinot grigio. To create our French Champagne Wine Vinegar, the grapes are hand-pressed and sent to ferment in stainless steel. After reaching the desired alcoholic level, the wine is transferred to old oak barrels to undergo the conversion from alcohol to acetic acid. The final product is vinegar, which then continues to mature in the oak barrels--a process that can take up to three years.

Champagne is a sparkling wine produced exclusively within the Champagne region of France, from which it takes its name. Through international treaty and national law, most countries limit the use of the term to only those wines that come from the Champagne appellation. Our Champagne Vinegar is artisan-crafted from Champagne wine, and is as luxurious a vinegar as its forebear is a wine. You'll enjoy its fruity aroma, the notes of pear in its full-bodied flavor, and the delicacy of its composition.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Use our Champagne Vinegar when dressing iceberg salads with bleu cheese. Try pairing it with our Italian Peranzana or Dolce Agogia extra virgin olive oil for light and lovely vinaigrette that would be delicious over a simple green salad of green leaf lettuce and finely chopped green onion. Use with our Crushed Herbs de Provence extra virgin olive oil for a true taste of France!
