Can it replace alcohol vinegar in a recipe?

Yes for vinaigrettes, marinades and sauces, bearing in mind that it brings an apple scent and a little sweetness. For preserves and torshi, choose a neutral vinegar: cider would perfume the vegetables.

Can it be drunk diluted in water?

We describe its culinary uses only. For any other use, a healthcare professional is the right source of advice.

Why does it taste less acidic?

The fruit brings aromas and a roundness that soften how the acidity is perceived. It is as much an impression on the palate as a matter of composition.

SIDNA cider vinegar is the gentlest in the range. Made from apples, it keeps from the fruit a roundness and a scent that alcohol vinegars do not have. Its acidity feels suppler on the palate, which makes it easy to measure out for anyone who finds classic vinegar too direct.

In the kitchen

In a vinaigrette it takes a more generous ratio: one part vinegar to two of oil works well, where a crystal vinegar would sting.

It goes particularly well with sweet-savoury salads — grated carrot, beetroot, apple, coleslaw — and with autumn raw vegetables.

On poultry it makes a gentle marinade: cider vinegar, wholegrain mustard, oil and thyme. It is the base of our marinated chicken recipe.

A spoonful in a sauce for white fish brings freshness without the bite of lemon.

Choosing it and keeping it

Bottle closed, upright, in a cupboard, away from light. Cider vinegar is more sensitive than alcohol vinegars to heat, which can dull its apple scent.

A cloudy deposit at the bottom or a veil on the surface is common with fruit vinegars and does not mean the product has gone off. Shake or filter, as you prefer.

Once opened, a bottle keeps for several months without losing its qualities, provided it is closed again after each use.
