This German Vinegar is 28% Spirit Vinegar. It is great for pickling your own herring and vegetables. Just remember to use 1/2 the amount of regular spirit vinegar. It gives your herring and vegetables that perfect sharp and tart flavor you are looking for, adding the perfect sour note to your dish. Also makes for a perfect salad dressing when paired with olive oil. As an added bonus, this vinegar is amazing as a cleaning agent, and is also environmentally friendly and fully biodegradable.
