Feature product – Light Vinegar from Marigold MFG
There’s a new vinegar in our online shop!
This lighter-flavoured malt vinegar has hints of orange rind, strawberry fruit leather, and rye cracker (pH: 3.1 Acetic Acid/Vol: 4.2% 375mL).
How to use it: in a cocktail or shrub (fruit-based syrup drink), as a vinaigrette, or in dessert.
But, get this—it is fermented from local craft beer! Common Crown Brewing Company Journeyman IPA, to be exact.
Vinegar is created through the conversion of alcohol into acetic acid. This process can be as quick as a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of years.
Marigold MFG (Aldersyde, AB) uses an accelerated Orleans style of vinegar making, fermenting their vinegar in drums and barrels with minimal outside inputs.
Their vinegar is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Because of this, sediment and mother may form in the bottle.
The company specializes in small-batch vinegar, condiments, hard-to-find culinary herbs, and edible flowers. They create, grow, and produce unique and focused products for use in home kitchens and restaurants.
Marigold MFG Light Vinegar is available in our online store → here.
