GREAT VINEGAR. MOTHER MADE US DO IT. ®

Original Honey Wine Vinegar

$13.00

Sweet meets tangy—naturally

Original Honey Wine Vinegar begins as mead made from real honey, then it’s slow-fermented and rested in a 25-gallon American oak for a warm, hazy honeycomb glow and unmistakable honey notes. After aging, it’s finished with raw clover honey for a soft, woodsy nose and gently tart candy finish. This is the sweet-tangy bottle you’ll reach for when you want lift without harshness. 

Flavor profile

Bright, balanced acidity with a clear honey signature and a subtle, woodsy aroma. Think tart candy energy wrapped in oak-rounded smoothness—elegant on both sweet and savory plates. 

Why cooks love it

Because it seasons like a pro. A splash sharpens dressings and marinades, adds polish to pan deglazes, flatters roasted roots, and turns shrubs or cocktails into instant crowd-pleasers. 

Fast ways to use it

Everyday vinaigrette: 1 part Original Honey Wine Vinegar to 2–3 parts olive oil with a pinch of salt.
Sheet-pan saver: Deglaze roasted carrots, squash, or onions for a glossy, sweet-tart finish.
Cabinet cocktail: Stir equal parts vinegar and sugar until dissolved, top with seltzer—or add to bourbon for a honeyed spritz.

Original Honey Wine Vinegar FAQs

What makes Original Honey Wine Vinegar different from other vinegars?

It starts as real mead and is finished with raw honey after barrel aging, so you get a floral honey signature with balanced tang—unique among everyday vinegars.

How should I use it?

Start with dressings and marinades, then try pan deglazes, roasted roots, fresh fruit, shrubs, and cocktail riffs—it plays beautifully with both savory and sweet.

Is it actually sweet?

It’s vinegar-forward with lifted honey notes and a tart-candy vibe. Expect balance, not syrup.

What’s the acidity?

Minimum acidity is 4%. 

Is it raw or filtered?

It’s hand-bottled raw after slow fermentation and barrel aging, then finished with raw honey.

Worth Waiting For

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. It all takes a lot more time and care but we think the results are spectacular. I hope you will too.
