Forvm Wine Vinegar 500mL

TAST­ING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Cov­et­ed by culi­nary chefs from more than 34 coun­tries, Forvm cre­ates its beau­ti­ful con­coc­tions by reduc­ing grape must and vine­gar which is then aged through the Span­ish sol­era process (a tra­di­tion­al sys­tem of age­ing employ­ing a grad­ual blend­ing of mul­ti­ple vin­tages or ages of vine­gars over the course of years). 

• Forvm Caber­net Sauvi­gnon Vine­gar: A del­i­cate red wine vine­gar made from caber­net sauvi­gnon grapes aged in oak bar­rels for 8 years. This bal­anced vine­gar is crisp and smooth with deep, earthy notes of choco­late and toast­ed oak, with a bal­anced sweet­ness and a more round­ed pro­file brought about by the addi­tion of grape must.

• Forvm Chardon­nay Vine­gar: A soft and sweet white wine vine­gar made from Cata­lan chardon­nay grapes aged in bar­rels of ches­nut and oak for 3 years. This vine­gar high­lights a smooth tex­ture and a bright, tart taste with notes of pineap­ple, trop­i­cal fruits and zesty cit­rus dis­tinct with Span­ish Chardon­nay wines.

• Forvm Mer­lot Vine­gar: A fruity, bit­ter­sweet Cata­lan vine­gar made from young Mer­lot Grapes with notes of red fruits, straw­ber­ry jam and cher­ries. Unlike oth­er Forvm’s vine­gars, this mer­lot vine­gar has not been aged in oak casks, giv­ing it a sweet­er, live­li­er taste and a vibrant red-vio­let col­or to your creations.
  
  

PREPA­RA­TION OR PAIRINGS

A won­der­ful bal­ance of sweet­ness and acid­i­ty, with a com­plex­i­ty of flavour imbued by the vari­etal grapes used in each bot­tle, Forvm wine vine­gars can be used to enhance any recipes that call for wine vine­gars or used to add a twist on clas­sic preparations.

• Forvm Caber­net Sauvi­gnon Vine­gar: Won­der­ful­ly ver­sa­tile, this vine­gar is per­fect for vinai­grettes, sauces or mari­nades where red wine vine­gar is called for. Also beau­ti­ful as a fin­ish­ing driz­zle for over tuna carpac­cio and sar­dines, or served along­side bre­sao­la, Iberi­co ham and capers. 

• Forvm Chardon­nay Vine­gar: A bal­anced vine­gar, sub­sti­tute for any recipe that calls for a white wine vine­gar. The inher­ent fruiti­ness of the Chardon­nay wines make this vine­gar per­fect­ly suit­ed for fish and shell­fish prepa­ra­tions. Try mak­ing a clas­sic Spaghet­ti alle Von­gole, but add a splash of this Chardon­nay Vine­gar as you are cook­ing your clams or shell­fish. Enjoy!

• Forvm Mer­lot Vine­gar: Its sweet and fruity pro­file and vibrant col­or adds a bright­ness and flavour com­plex­i­ty to any dessert recipes. Use this vine­gar in a berry fruit reduc­tion topped over cheese­cakes and crepes.
