Oloroso Sherry Vinegar El Majuelo

Oloroso vinegar is made from Oloroso sherry, a dry, full bodied sherry made with 100% Palomino grapes that is typically dark and nutty. Using five year aged Oloroso sherry, acetic fermentation converts alcohol to vinegar as it ages slowly over two years in American Oak barrels. Amber in color, with a smooth, light-bodied consistency, it is lightly acidic with just a touch of sweetness. Notes of walnut, hazelnut, and exotic spices bring it to life. It is a rare varietal of vinegar that is worth tasting.
