Apple Cider Vinegar - What is it?

Apple Cider Vinegar has been used in cuisine and medicine since ancient times. Ancient Assyrian writings (some of the worlds oldest known texts) refer to apple cider vinegar being used to treat earache. Hippocrates, often dubbed the father of modern medicine, is known to have prescribed vinegar during the C4th BC. It is referred to in many religious and historical texts as a cure for all manner of ailments. Perhaps our most well know reference to its use in the UK is in the nursery Rhyme 'Jack and Jill', where Jack goes home to wrap his crown in "Vinegar and Brown paper".

Apples are well known to be extremely good for us, containing all manner of beneficial nutrients, including pectin, vitamins, fibre and minerals, hence the expression "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Many consider Apple Cider Vinegar to be the ultimate form of the apple, with many more benefits unlocked during the fermentation process.

Apple Cider Vinegar - Why is Traditional Better?

Many of the Apple Cider Vinegars that you will find in the health food shops and supermarkets have been pasteurised and filtered. This destroys and removes the 'Mother' (a ball of living enzymes that floats in the apple cider vinegar vinegar), and other nutrients making it pretty much useless for anything other than a table condiment. Also many of these vinegars are made from apples grown using harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Our Apple Cider Vinegar is made from organically grown apples, and contains absolubtly no additives. Our orchards have been farmed the same way for 11 generations. The apple cider vinegar is in its natural state, meaning that the 'Mother' is intact. This ball of beneficial living enzymes is rammed with goodness and is largely responsible for many of the beneficial properties of the vinegar. You can get the 'Mother' in your bottle to grow by leaving it the sunlight.
