What it is
This is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, pungent aroma and taste. It is produced through the fermentation of ethanol, which is then oxidized to acetic acid. The distillation process removes impurities, resulting in a clean and consistent flavor profile. Its high acidity makes it a versatile ingredient in both cooking and household applications. This vinegar is a pantry staple for many home cooks.
