ORGANIC Elderflower Balsamic Vinegar

Our Organic Elderflower Balsamic Vinegar is a mild vinegar with the fine, fruity aroma and taste of the elderflower so popular in this country. The balsamic vinegar is made by the natural fermentation of elderflower syrup. It is finished with organic Riesling vinegar and a hint of lemon. Elderflower vinegar is suitable for everyday use in the kitchen and is ideal for preparing colourful leaf salads, refining dips and light sauces.

Elderflower vinegar in the kitchen

This sweet balsamic vinegar adds an unusual flavour to fresh leaf salads and raw vegetable salads. Our summer recommendation for hot days: add a dash of elderflower vinegar to a glass of mineral water for refreshment. Elderflower vinegar is also great as an aperitif with sparkling wine.

Elderflower vinegar pairs perfectly with our oils: In a vinaigrette, the vinegar works particularly well with mild and nutty oils such as walnut, hazelnut and macamia nut oil. The combination of elderflower balsamic vinegar and olive oil in salads is also a classic alternative.

A vinaigrette can also be made in endless variations using other fine vinegars and oils fresh from the mill. The basic recipe is very simple: 1 part vinegar, 3 parts oil and salt and pepper to taste. Our vinegars are also ideal for seasoning soups and sauces, and wherever a touch of acidity is needed to add a little extra flavour.

Traditional production thanks to the vinegar mother

If you discover a cloudy, gelatinous mass in an open bottle of vinegar after a while, it does not mean that the vinegar has gone off. On the contrary, it is a good sign that the vinegar has been produced traditionally and is not pasteurised: A so-called "vinegar mother" is forming. This is what experts call the important acetic acid bacteria that convert alcohol into acetic acid with the help of oxygen. When vinegar is opened, these natural helpers may become active again.
