The SOMERSET CIDER VINEGAR COMPANY makes traditional cider vinegar (also called Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV) from 100% Somerset cider apple juice. Unlike supermarket apple cider vinegars, our vinegar is TRADITIONALY FERMENTED for THREE YEARS. Most supermarket apple cider vinegars are made industrially in a single day using discarded dessert fruit and imported concentrate. They are fermented by feeding compressed air and nutrients to acetic acid bacteria. This process does not allow for the creation of the vinegar 'mother' that is so important for health treatments.

Genuine cider apples contain greater quantities of antioxidants and tannins and have more health applications than dessert or culinary apples. IF YOUR VINEGAR DOESN'T SAY IT'S MADE FROM PURE CIDER APPLE JUICE - IT WON'T BE! Cider vinegar bought from supermarkets is produced industrially in a machine called an 'Acetator' using cider made from substandard dessert apples, lots of sugar and imported concentrates to boost the alcohol content.

Somerset Cider Vinegar is not filtered or pasteurised and contains Acetobacter Aceti (mother-of-vinegar). Acetobacters are present as wispy, gelatinous particles in the vinegar. They are tasteless and nutritious but can be removed with a tea-strainer or something similar if they grow too quickly in your vinegar.
