About Vinagre de Jerez DO

Where it grows

In the Sherry-producing area of southwestern Andalucía, associated with the bodegas of the Marco de Jerez.

Vinagre de Jerez is a protected wine vinegar for cooking and seasoning. Its ageing in wooden casks develops nutty aromas and complexity, with Reserva and Gran Reserva identifying longer-aged expressions. Versions associated with Pedro Ximénez or Moscatel add sweeter nuances. Use a little to lift vegetables, dressings and sauces; this is a culinary vinegar rather than a drinking wine, so wine colour and tasting-style categories do not apply.
