Sherry vinegar (Spanish: Vinagres de Jerez) is a gourmet wine vinegar made from Sherry. It is produced in the Spanish province of Cádiz and inside the triangular area between the city of Jerez de la Frontera and towns of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María, known as the "sherry triangle".
In the Spain, to be designated and named Vinagre de Jerez, by law the Sherry vinegar must undergo ageing in oak barrels for a minimum of six months, can only be aged within the "sherry triangle" and must have a minimum of 7 degrees acidity. Most Sherry Vinegar is aged using the same solera system as the Sherry wines and Brandy de Jerez.
Sherry Vinegar is used extensively in both Spanish and French cuisine. In 2008 France was the largest market for sherry vinegar. In Spain, Sherry Vinegar is used in Gazpachos, and other cold soups as well as a garnish for stews such as cocido or lentils, used on salads or and accompaniment to tapas. Sherry Vinegar is also used to add zest and subtle nuances to sauces and dressings. Vinaigrette made from sherry Vinegar is particularly flavorful compared to vinaigrette made from standard wine vinegar and pairs well with an array of your favorite recipes.
Note: You'll notice an increase in the price of some of our DEALS this year. This is due to the drastic increase in my wholesale costs including freight, inflationary costs in Spain (including olive oil) and the high cost of shipping in the US. As always, we attempt to keep these increases at a minimum.
