APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Ancient apples were often too small or bitter to eat raw, but when pressed their juices could be fermented into hard cider. Today the same processes are still used. Apples are pressed, yeast and bacteria are added, and the alcoholic fermentation process begins where the sugars are converted to alcohol. Then a second fermentation process happens. An acetic acid forming bacteria is introduced and the alcohol transforms into vinegar. Acetic and malic acid are responsible for the recognizable sour taste of vinegar. Never heat treated or filtered, our apple cider vinegar base is raw and living; still containing the living Acetobacter colonies.
