Chef’s note
Everything about ... Cider vinegar
For some, cider vinegar could be a miraculous remedy for digestion problems, arthritis, wheight surplus and other illness. In the kitchen, its sour taste is delicious for vinaigrette, with olive oil, nuts or sesame. Try it with sweet green lettuce (Greenhouse, iceberg, Boston...), endives and fennel. To fully enjoy its quality, go get the old-style version unpasteurized 100% pure. If you find out a gelatinous veil, be happy: this "mother of vinegar" is a great sign of a good quality product.
