About Cider vinegar

Cider vinegar is vinegar made by fermenting apple cider or apple juice. It is a liquid seasoning with a sharp, acidic taste and a fruit-derived aroma; its colour can range from pale gold to amber, and it may be clear or cloudy, with sediment in some unfiltered versions.

It is used in dressings, marinades, pickling and sauces, and may also be used in cooking to add acidity. Products differ in filtration, maturation and residual apple components, so the appearance and flavour can vary between bottles.
