Overview of fruit balsamic vinegars

Fruit balsamic vinegar differs from fruit vinegars above all in taste and consistency. Fruit balsamic vinegar drips viscously from the superior bottle and charms the palate with its slightly sweet note. Just like the vinegars, the balsamic vinegar is also a purely natural product and at Pödör does without any artificial additives. That is a quality attribute that we provide to our customers in all our sorts of fruit balsamic vinegar!

Nothing more than pure fruit makes our fruit balsamic vinegar a convincing natural foodstuff that does not require any additives. Taste your way through our range and you will see that flavor, aroma and color of the fruit in the balsamic vinegars are retained. The juice from apples, raspberries, sour cherries and blackcurrants is the basis for fruit balsamic vinegar. The juice is pressed exclusively from fresh, juicy, fully-ripened fruit.

At Pödör we trust in the traditional, time-honored balsamic vinegar method of production for our fruit balsamic vinegars.

First of all the fruits are carefully harvested when they are fully matured and prepared for further processing.

Aromatic fruit juice is pressed from the fruit which is then thickened by boiling and reducing. That is how the pure essence of the fruit is retained.

In the next step the fruit juice is fermented to wine. This is called "mash" in insider jargon. To transform the wine into vinegar "mother of vinegar" is added. With the aid of oxygen the alcohol transforms into acetic acid.

In the final step of processing fruit balsamic vinegar matures for at least 2 years in oak casks. These casks are the ideal place for the vinegar to mature because water can evaporate out of them and in this way natural thickening takes place.

The result is 100 percent natural fruit balsamic vinegar that will add that special touch to any salad. It also adds mild sweetness that ideally complements the taste of the food itself.
