As irresistible as the brisk, crisp taste of the Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar may be at first sip, its beauty is more than a bottle deep. Unfiltered apple cider vinegar like this has been used for millennia-by the Egyptians, the Romans, and probably your own grandma- to add a bit of zest to favorite dishes. Shake it up with any of Spectrum"s organic extra virgin olive oils for a quick, tangy vinaigrette or splash it into sauts and braises for a bracing flavor boost. The "Mother" of vinegar - translucent shapes or veil-like film sometimes found floating in the bottle - is made up of beneficial microorganisms that turn alcohol to vinegar. The Mother is merely the sign of genuine natural (unpasteurized) vinegar.
