All excellent. Mellow rather than sharp allows you to taste the underlying liquid it’s made from e.g. white wine or apple cider.

Makes a Great Marinade for Chicken

We used some AVW Apple Cider Vinegar in a marinade for chicken with chopped garlic and spices. It turned out great, and the grilled marinaded chicken was delicious!

Old-time goodness

My Gran used to make her own vinegar. I remember she would pull the must off the top, pour our the vinegar, refill the jug and re-install the must. That was good vinegar! It was still sweet, had a flavor almost like pumpernickel and was still syrup-y. This brought the taste-visual memory back to me.

Porter Beer Malt Vinegar Makes a Great Beef Marinade

We used the Porter Beer Malt Vinegar in making a really great beef marinade.
A 1/3 cup of Porter Beer Malt Vinegar mixed with 2/3 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, a 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, a 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic. Whisk the marinade thoroughly. Put the beef (we used a Chuck Roast) in a large ziplock plastic bag, pour in the marinade, seal the plastic bag and refrigerate for at least eight hours.

Cucumbers

I make a recipe of sliced cucumbers seasoned with store bought red wine vinegar and sour cream. This time I used your rose wine vinegar. The difference was amazing. No bitterness, just flavor. I’m hooked. I now need to purchase your red wine vinegar.

What's our Secret to Great Vinegar?

A Revived Process From the 1800s

Modern vinegars have lost their way, so we stepped back in time to recreate a process from 1823.

Our equipment doesn’t exist anymore so we remade it in partnership with local universities.

After slow fermentation, our vinegars are barrel aged before being hand bottled raw and unfiltered.

Our Rebuilt Machine. We Call Him A1

Only Quality Ingredients

We only use quality American beers, wines, ciders, and sakes as our alcohol base to ferment our vinegars at our vinegar works in New England.

Why? Because the taste of the underlying alcohol used directly impacts the flavor of the vinegar.

Dedicated Vinegar Makers

We are American Vinegar Works, a small business focused on making great American vinegars.
