Honey vinegars are made by fermenting mead, a honey wine, which we source from craft producers in New England. After slow fermenting and aging the honey vinegar we blend it with raw honey. The result is a delightful set of vinegars with tart, almost candy-like flavors that are perfect for vinaigrettes or splashing in a drink.
Honey wine, also known as mead, serves as a unique and exquisite base ingredient that we cherish for its natural sweetness and depth. We begin with honey wine, an ancient alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes enhanced with fruits or spices. This rich and flavorful liquid undergoes a secondary fermentation process under our careful supervision, where beneficial bacteria convert the remaining alcohol into acetic acid, creating our distinct honey wine vinegar. This method allows us to preserve the intricate flavors and aromatic qualities of the original honey wine, resulting in a vinegar that is not only versatile in culinary applications but also offers a nuanced taste profile that reflects the artistry and tradition of its origins.
What is the difference between honey wine and other wines?
Honey wine, or mead, differs from other wines primarily in its base ingredient and production process. While traditional wines are made from fermented grapes or other fruits, honey wine is crafted by fermenting honey with water. This gives mead a distinctive sweetness and complexity that you won’t find in grape-based wines. Additionally, mead can be flavored with various fruits, spices, or herbs during fermentation, adding unique nuances to its flavor profile. In contrast, other wines are typically flavored by the specific variety of grape or fruit used and the aging process. Overall, honey wine stands out for its rich, honeyed taste and versatility, which contrast with the diverse flavors and characteristics of traditional wines.
What makes honey wine vinegar so good?
In crafting our artisan honey wine vinegar, we start with honey wine, a rich and naturally sweet mead made by fermenting honey with water. This base ingredient provides a unique foundation that sets our vinegar apart. We carefully oversee a secondary fermentation process, where acetic acid bacteria transform the remaining alcohol in the honey wine into acetic acid. This conversion imparts a distinctive tangy flavor while preserving the subtle sweetness and complexity of the original honey wine. By managing this process meticulously, we ensure that our honey wine vinegar not only retains the nuanced flavors of its origin but also delivers a balanced and sophisticated taste that enhances a wide range of culinary creations.

Nice material and good size. Washed and dried very well.
Just placed my fourth or fifth order .. the vinegars are simply exceptional with huge flavor that echos the source. We just ordered more of the fantastic organic olive oil which is fresh, grassy with a peppery finish. Of the vinegars the Cider, Sherry and Chardonnay are our faves but we also enjoy the Red Wine and Porter. Buy with confidence. We started with the gift set. You will not be sorry, nor will you be buying supermarket vinegars ever again.
We ordered our 2nd bottle as we were happy with the first. It's a smoother vinegar with the good tang on our Brussel sprouts and cabbage dishes. Very happy with something we trust more than store bought vinegars.
We’ve ordered the 19.53 mile ACV multiple times and love it. It elevates every vinaigrette and accentuates soups and stews beautifully. Once you taste it you won’t want to go back to less expensive grocery store options. Do yourself a favor and get the large bottle. Or maybe two. It’s that good!
Many thanks for your exceptional products. They all have exceeded my expectations, With truly amazing taste, clarity and aroma, I will be a repeat customer, Keep up the production of this totally awesome family of unique products.
