HOW IS THE BALSAMIC
APPLE VINEGAR IS MADE
Balsamic apple cider vinegar is a complicated process that is made in 3 major steps.
The First step is the production of apple cider vinegar, where a traditional long process of fermentation and acidification is applied for a few weeks so that the product receives the maximum amount of valuable nutrients and aromatic components of the apple.
Then it is aged in oak barrels for a long time 10 – 12 months where with secondary fermentations and reactions the sour taste is reduced and a palette of aromas develops that elevates all the senses.
The Second Step is the apple syrup production and the process is to boil apples together with aromatic natural herbs so that the product acquires a unique golden color and sweet taste.
The Third and the final stage is to add the boiled apple syrup to the aged apple cider vinegar and remains in oak barrels and the balsamic apple vinegar is created by secondary fermentation.
” The harmonic combination of sour and sweet prepared with unparalleled art. ”
