How our Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is Made
Firstly, we let nature follow her course, taking a whole year to grow apples from tiny buds, to perfectly ripe and natural fruit. These apples are then hand-picked from the orchards of our 250-acre historic Estate, pressed and allowed to ferment naturally into an unfiltered cider. Once fully fermented, it is converted to vinegar simply by exposing to fresh Irish air.
And thats it, nothing added, no filtering, no dilution, and no pasteurisation. 100% raw and natural, exactly as nature intended.
Apple Cider Vinegar and your health
Socrates, widely known as the Father of Medicine, treated his patients with apple cider vinegar because of its antiseptic, cleansing qualities.
Today, Apple Cider Vinegar is a staple in many kitchens and used as an ingredient in both cooking, salads as well as cleansing drinks and tonics.
What is “The Mother”
This is a collection of friendly bacteria and yeasts that develop throughout the fermentation process of vinegar making. It is not unlike the SCOBY which is the main component of a good quality Kombucha. The mark of a good quality Apple Cider Vinegar is its cloudiness when shaken, but you will see “the mother” as a sediment when settled.
