Artisan Malt Vinegar: A Timeless Classic Reimagined
When it comes to malt vinegar, most people think of the mass-produced versions found in supermarkets. But the Artisan Vinegar Company is redefining this kitchen staple with their handcrafted Artisan Malt Vinegar, an exceptional product made with time-honoured brewing and aging techniques.
A Traditional Approach with a Modern Twist
Unlike commercial malt vinegars that rely on industrial shortcuts, Artisan Vinegar Company takes a slow, natural approach. The process begins with Cornish malted barley, which is brewed into a rich, full-bodied ale. This ale is then carefully fermented into vinegar using traditional methods, allowing the deep, malty flavours to develop naturally.
What sets this vinegar apart is its oak-barrel maturation, which enhances its complexity and smoothness. The result is a malt vinegar that’s robust, full-flavoured, and slightly sweet, with a deep umami character – a far cry from the sharp, one-dimensional taste of many commercial brands.
Elevating Everyday Dishes
Artisan Malt Vinegar isn’t just for fish and chips—though it certainly enhances that classic pairing! Its rich depth of flavour makes it perfect for salad dressings, marinades, and even deglazing pans for sauces. It also pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, meats, and pickling recipes, adding a nuanced tang that elevates every dish.
More Artisan Vinegars
As well as this stunning malt vinegar, the Artisan Vinegar Company crafts a range of flavours to try. Ranging from more familiar tastes, like their Artisan Cider Vinegar, to something more exotic, like the honey vinegar. These award winning flavours are sure to add something special to any dish. If you’re not sure about how to use these spectacular vinegars, the Artisan Vinegar Company has some recipe ideas to perfectly compliment these flavours.
For those who appreciate the art of fine food, Artisan Malt Vinegar is a must-try. It’s a testament to the power of craftsmanship and tradition in transforming a simple ingredient into something truly special. Which is why you will find a bottle in the welcome pack in the cottage when you arrive.
