Cranberry Apple Cider Vinegar

Cranberry Apple Cider Vinegar from American Vinegar Works starts with apple cider from northern Massachusetts, co-ferments it with cranberries from bogs near Cape Cod, then rests in 25-gallon American oak. The fruit's sparkle meets a round, graceful finish for a sweet-tangy crowd favorite that lifts salads, grains, and cocktails without a harsh edge.
