CAPE TOWN MEADERY
Honey, honey, how you thrill me. Crafted entirely from African honey and fermented to perfection, Honey Mead Vinegar is the secret ingredient to transform an ordinary dish into a gourmet masterpiece. Sweet, tangy and packed with natural goodness, this is more than just vinegar; it is an experience in a bottle. Drizzled over salads, used in marinades or mixed into drinks, it is perfect for the food lover with everything or the health-conscious cook.
ROZENDAL
Vinegar that wows! Following the French Orleans method, Rozendal vinegar contains a blend of red wine cultivars – sourced from the farm and other vineyards in the region – and then activated by an indigenous ‘Mother’ culture originating from the farm’s first vinegar of 1988. The balsam naturally ferments in oak barrels, the outcome perfected by extended oak maturation. This approach to vinegar-making relies on time-tested tradition and a philosophy of living in step with the rhythm of the seasons, the results hinging on three core elements: time, change and balance. Their Botanical range comprises fynbos, hibiscus, green tea and lavender vinegar.
