Apfelessigapple cider vinegar

Vinegar made from fermented apple must. Amber, often cloudy.

It holds salads together, sharpens red cabbage and carries the marinade for Sauerbraten and Sauerfleisch.

Geschmacktaste

Soft acid with a trace of apple behind it. It rounds rather than stings.

That is why it survives a long marinade: after days in the fridge the meat tastes of spice, not of a vinegar plant.

Vinagre de manzana is the same product and every supermarket has it.

It also stands in for white wine vinegar when that one is nowhere to be found.
