What is sherry vinegar?
A sweeter more concentrated vinegar used widely in Spanish cooking. The style of sherry vinegar varies depending on the grape variety used to produce the wine it is made from. Good sherry vinegar is aged in wood and is labelled vinagre de Jerez – those also labelled reserva and gran reserva have been aged for longer. The most common grape in sherry is palomino but sherry vinegar can also be made from the sweeter pedro ximénez. Sherry vinegar will add an authentic tang to gazpacho or try drizzled over griddled peppers.
