About Barley malt vinegar

Barley malt vinegar is vinegar made by fermenting a liquid derived from malted barley. It is used as a sour seasoning, particularly in British cooking, and may be added at the table or used in sauces and pickling. Some products include other ingredients or use different strengths.

It is a clear to brown, pourable liquid with a sharp acidity and characteristic malty, cereal-like aroma. Bottled forms are common; colour and flavour can vary with the malt and production method.
