As irresistible as the brisk, crisp taste of the Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar may be at first sip, it"s beauty is more than 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 sautes 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.
