This is a raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. It is made from organic apples and contains the 'mother,' which is a colony of beneficial bacteria and enzymes. The mother appears as cloudy strands or sediment at the bottom of the bottle. It is a versatile ingredient used in various culinary and household applications. This vinegar has a distinct tangy flavor and aroma.
