Herbal Vinegars

Gourmet infused vinegars that add sophistication to dressings, marinades, and sauces. Simple to make, stunning to gift, and incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

What Are Herbal Vinegars?

Herbal vinegars are made by steeping fresh or dried herbs in vinegar (typically white wine, red wine, or apple cider vinegar). The herbs infuse the vinegar with their flavors, creating a gourmet ingredient perfect for salad dressings, marinades, and sauces.

They’re incredibly easy to make, require no special equipment, and make beautiful gifts when packaged in decorative bottles with sprigs of fresh herbs inside.
