Aronia berries: tremendously astringent in raw form! Their tannin here is modulated with raw apple cider; the two mellow together as they ferment, yielding a ruby red vinegar with a deep and dry, grape-skin red wine quality.

This vinegar’s dry quality makes it a great choice for sweet or rich recipes that seek balance, like red onion jam. Its red wine character means it makes a fantastic chimichurri!
