Description
Pedro Ximénez Vinegars from Spain are a step above ordinary sherry vinegar. It all begins with award-winning Pedro Ximenez wines from Bodegas Alvear, the oldest winery in Andalucía. Late-harvest grapes are sun-dried to further concentrate their flavor and sweetness before undergoing 10 years of fermentation and aging in the exacting solera system, where the wine is slowly blended cask to cask. Special care in both winemaking and barrel aging makes for quality and flavor unlike any other sherry-style vinegar.
This has a raisiny sweetness complemented by rich notes of vanilla, toffee, and baked figs, as well as a refined acidity (6%). Drizzle over thinly sliced oranges and fennel. Whisk into vinaigrettes for fall salads of blue cheese, chicories, and pears. Use in deglazing and pan sauces for pork, poultry, veal and beef.
