O-Med Cider Vinegar, 250ml

O-Med Cider Vinegar is made from the juice of ripe Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples grown in Lérida, Spain, and fermented slowly using the Schützenbach method - a traditional technique that converts the alcohol into acid gently, rather than rushing it. It's made by O-Med, a family-owned producer based in Ácula, Granada, working with Andalusian olives and fruit since 2010. The result is a softer, rounder acidity than a standard cider vinegar, with the aroma of freshly cut apples and a well-balanced sweetness underneath.

Its gentle acidity makes it a good all-rounder rather than a one-trick vinegar. Whisk it into a light vinaigrette, use it to make quick pickles for a Sunday lunch, or add a splash to a pork marinade before it goes in the oven or on the barbecue. It also works well swirled through gravy or a pan sauce for roast pork, and a spoonful stirred into apple-based puddings - even apple ice cream - brings out the fruit rather than fighting it.

Why we love it:

• Made using the Schützenbach method, a slow, traditional technique that produces a softer, rounder acidity than standard vinegar production
  
• Made from real apples - Granny Smith and Golden, grown in Lérida, Spain - rather than diluted vinegar essence with added flavouring
  
• Gentler and more rounded than an everyday cider vinegar, so it complements rather than overpowers
  
• Made by O-Med, a family-owned Spanish producer working with Andalusian olives and fruit since 2010
  

How to use:

• Whisk into a light vinaigrette for salads or roasted vegetables
  
• Use to make quick pickles for cucumber, red onion or other garden vegetables
  
• Add a splash to a pork marinade, or use to deglaze the pan for a quick gravy after roasting pork
  
• Stir a spoonful into apple-based puddings or ice cream to bring out the fruit flavour
