Using premium fruit vinegars opens up a world of possibilities, from adding complexity to savoury dishes to enhancing the sweetness of desserts and beverages. Each of these vinegars has a unique flavour profile, so have fun experimenting with them in the following ways.
Dressings & Vinaigrettes: Combine with quality oils (e.g., olive oil, sesame oil) to create sophisticated dressings for salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls, where the fruit vinegar adds a complex, sweet-tart flavour.
Marinades: Use as a base for marinating meats (e.g., pork, duck or chicken) or seafood, where the fruit vinegar helps tenderize the proteins while imparting a fruity depth that complements rich flavours.
Glazes & Sauces: Reduce fruit vinegar into glazes for meats or vegetables, pairing it with honey, soy or balsamic for a well-balanced sweet-and-sour finish. Also perfect for drizzling over roasted dishes or grilled items.
Dessert Sauces & Toppings: Drizzle over fruit-based desserts (e.g., tarts, sorbets, or panna cotta) to add a balancing acidity and depth, or use in syrups to finish cakes or ice cream dishes.
Glazed Vegetables: Create fruity glazes for roasted vegetables, such as beets or Brussels sprouts, where the vinegar’s sweetness harmonizes with the earthiness of the produce.
Finishing Touches: Add a few drops of premium fruit vinegar as a final touch to soups, risottos, or even grain dishes like quinoa, where it can enhance the dish’s complexity and brightness without overwhelming the flavours.
