What is Champagne Vinegar?
A true workhorse of the kitchen, Champagne vinegar has a delightfully mellow flavor that marries well with a wide range of tastes and cuisines and easily brightens any dish. Typically champagne is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Petit Meslier, or Pinot Noir grapes, lending that characteristic floral almost buttery taste to the wine, and of course, to the vinegar. Like any wine-based vinegar, it’s produced by combining wine with a bacteria, or “mother,” as it’s also called. Once combined, the ingredients are allowed to ferment naturally, until it has transformed into acetic acid.
What Does Champagne Vinegar Taste Like?
Much less acidic than apple cider vinegar or even white wine vinegar, it’s a go-to when looking for something a little more subtle. Perfect in salad dressings, champagne vinegar adds a delightful zip to recipes and a nuance of flavor not found in all other vinegars. Often aged in wooden barrels, notes of oak are often present in champagne vinegar.
