About Kachampuli vinegar
Kachampuli is a dark, sour condiment from Kodagu, made by reducing the juice of Garcinia fruit. It is a concentrated, liquid seasoning rather than ordinary clear vinegar, and is used in small amounts to provide acidity and a deep, fruity tang.
The finished condiment is typically dark and syrupy or thick, though consistency can vary. It is sold as a liquid and may differ in concentration according to preparation. Kachampuli is a regional product; the name does not describe every sour Garcinia preparation or fruit vinegar.
