ARVUM
Andalucia, Spain
Arvum was founded in 1997 by the third and fourth generations of a prestigious wine and vinegar producing family.
Their wealth of knowledge has been passed down through the family to produce exceptional quality vinegars of the Andalucian region of Jerez, well known for their sherry wines.
Jerez Vinegar DOP 5L
This vinegar is an exceptional example of the quality found in the vinegars of the Jerez region. It is produced using the Solera ageing process; a traditional system of ageing sherry vinegar consisting of 500-litre oak barrels (which previously contained sherry wine) stacked three or more levels high, with the oldest vinegar stored in the bottom row of barrels (the 'Solera').
The oak barrels are placed in vast, well-ventilated structures called 'bodegas' where they are exposed to fresh air and warmth, which aids the vinegar maturation process.
To earn the Reserva distinction, the vinegars must be aged in oak casks for at least two years.
