O-Med Aged Chardonnay Wine Vinegar, 250ml

O-Med's Aged Chardonnay Wine Vinegar is an artisan white wine vinegar made using the Schützenbach method – a slow, traditional process in which only the alcohol in the wine is converted into acid, preserving much more of the original Chardonnay's fruit and floral character than a standard vinegar. Made by O-Med, a family-owned producer based in Ácula, Granada, it has a soft acidity and a clean, complex flavour rather than the sharpness of an everyday wine vinegar.

Its gentle acidity and preserved wine character make it well suited to delicate dishes – dressings, pickles, marinades and dishes like carpaccio, where a harsher vinegar would overwhelm the other flavours. As a natural product, a slight sediment may form in the bottle over time; this is normal and a sign of minimal processing rather than a fault.

Why we love it:

• Made using the Schützenbach method, a slow, traditional technique that preserves far more of the wine's original fruit and floral character than standard vinegar production
  
• Softer, cleaner acidity than an everyday wine vinegar, so it enhances delicate dishes rather than overpowering them
  
• Particularly good with fish, vegetables, pickles, salads and carpaccio
  
• Made by O-Med, a family-owned Spanish producer working with Andalusian grapes and olives since 2010
  

How to use:

• Whisk into a light dressing for fish, seafood or delicate salad leaves
  
• Use to make quick pickles for vegetables
  
• Drizzle a little over beef or fish carpaccio in place of a sharper vinegar
  
• Add to marinades where you want acidity without harshness
