Our Process

All of our vinegars are made from scratch.  

We use apples, pears, cherries, grapes, and berries from our USDA certified organic farm (and a select few other local fruit providers). The juice is then fermented into a quality alcohol and moved into aging vessels for another 6 months. We then move the wine/cider into smaller vessels to begin the Orleans method of vinegar making.   

The Orleans method of vinegar making is a slow, traditional French technique which requires the vinegar to age for 10 months or more. Ours typically take at least 18 months from start to finish.  

Unlike most store bought vinegar, which is based on rapid, forced fermentation and flushing the wine with oxygen using vinegar generators – our method produces a high-quality, flavorful vinegar with a developed taste and fragrance.  

Crafted with patience and precision, our process speaks for itself in every bottle. But we will let you be the judge of that!
