Our cider vinegar (known as 'apple cider vinegar' in the US) is made from the same range of Irish apples which we use to make our cider. This vinegar has a rich amber colour and excellent flavour. It is naturally allowed to clear with time, and is not filtered.

Many people use our vinegar as a daily health tonic or to give relief from arthritic problems or other ailments, but I personally use it mostly in the kitchen, and I never make a salad without it!  Although its most popular use is for salad dressings, it can be substituted whereever wine vinegar is called for.  You can use it in marinades, pickling, sauces, mayonaise, and even on chips!  It is available not only in bottles, but it is also available from the orchard in 5 litre or 20 litre containers for use as a nutritional supplement for horses, cattle and even greyhounds.  I have even seen it recommended for addition to the drinking water of poultry.

Cider vinegar has long been considered beneficial to horses, but it is only recently that scientific evidence has emerged that it seems to improve milk quality in milking cows.
