Columela30 Year Sherry Vinegar, 12.7 Ounce (Pack of 2)

great rich taste that was perfect for gazpacho. some of best vinegar i have ever used . if you want sherry vinegar this is a great choice

I bought this Columela Sherry Vinegar to use as a substitute for Chinese Black Vinegar, which I haven’t been able to find gluten-free. Multiple websites mentioned using Sherry Vinegar instead, and this did work really well. This is just what I needed as the final touch for some recipes I’d been putting off.As the parent of kiddos with autism, there are causes near and dear to my heart.

So, I've never had any sherry vinegar as far as I know. I saw this in a recipe and thought it sounded interesting. I cook with sherry a lot. BUT - this did not really taste the way I imagined it would. Sherry is at least slightly sweet. This on the other hand is a powerfully strong vinegar product, not reminiscent of balsamic vinegar at all. However, it has a great flavor and will no doubt go well in many sauces, etc., and even in savory dishes a dash will add some brightness and freshness to the finish. For a treat, mix 1/2 cup of sherry vinegar with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, bring to a simmer over med-low heat and concentrate it down. The resulting sauce/glaze is great with fish (esp. salmon), grilled vegetables, and even as a drizzle over berries and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

I’ve been using red wine vinegar in my gazpacho for years and recently discovered that sherry vinegar was “the” thing to use. I took a look at a bunch of different sherry vinegars and finally settled on this 30 year sherry vinegar. I was blown away with the results. It has absolutely made my gazpacho next-level fabulous! If you’re on the fence about whether to go with a younger or older sherry vinegar or wondering whether to use a sherry vinegar at all, just try this one. You won’t be disappointed. There is not a lot in the bottle, but it really didn’t take much. Bon appetit!

It arrived in perfect shape, no leaks or breaks. It is delicious, a little more complex than the basalmic from the grocery. I use it to marinate red meats, (beef and venison) on anything basalmic is used on. It’s strong and worth a try!

Medium acidity for the genre. Very good flavor profile. Excellent both in salads and marinades. Haven’t tried it with ice cream yet!

I see this has happened to others, so it's clearly not an isolated incident. I used the pull tab to remove the seal, and when I twisted the cap, the cork broke just below the lip of the bottle (see pictures). Returns & replacements won't happen, but Amazon will refund your money. Me, I'm rolling the dice and trying/buying again. Wish me luck!It's possible to push the wedged bit of cork down into the bottle, and pour into another container, but you'll most likely have cork bits to deal with (I was able to filter mine with a few layers of cheesecloth, but the bottle is pretty much worthless, can't cap it with original cap).You COULD use a cork from a spent wine bottle - if it fits.

I bought this based on reviews and I use it in recipes by Yotam Ottolenghi in PLENTY MORE vegetable cookbook. It is more acidic than a typical cider or wine vinegar. It makes sense that his recipes call for 2 tsp for a dressing mixture as opposed to Tbs that one might see using a cider vinegar. The taste of the sherry vinegar is spectacular. It is worth the money. I will buy it again.
