THE VINAGRE DE JEREZ

Vinegar, from the French "vin aigre" (sour wine), is a product obtained by the action of the acetic bacteria on a hydroalcoholic solution. Vinegar can be produced from any food that ferments alcohol (apple, beet, rice and, of course, wine). Sherry Vinegar is made exclusively from Sherry Wines.

The secret of the unique character and the extraordinary quality of the Sherry Vinegar is its origin. The Vinegar of Jerez is born from the Wines of Jerez, noble wines par excellence, from which it inherits unsurpassed qualities and nuances. It is, therefore, the region known as Marco de Jerez, where these unique wines are made, the place of origin of the Sherry Vinegar.

Like the Sherry Wines, the Sherry Vinegar is aged following the traditional system of hatcheries and solera, a genuine and prolonged aging that sometimes exceeds 10 or 20 years and that explains the richness and high concentration that characterize the Vinegar from Jerez.

Bottling vinegar is extracted exclusively from the row of barrels located at ground level, called solera, which contains the oldest vinegars.
