OTHER MOTHER WINE VINEGAR
othermother.com
Other Mother Vinegar (OMV) specializes in handcrafted vinegar shrubs that are probiotic-rich and chock-full of antioxidants. They also can assist in lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, help calm acid reflux, and boosts gut health. Adding good bacteria to your system, thus strengthening your microbiome, OMV is a delicious and refreshing way to keep your G.I. health in tip-top shape.
OMV is not mass-produced like most other vinegars. They create and age OMV the time-honored way via a twostage process: conversion followed by polishing. Using 59-gallon oak wine barrels with proper ventilation, as the wine breathes, it attracts acetobacters that begin the conversion process. Turning the alcohol into acetic acid, the vinegar is then moved into polishing barrels for roughly nine months. The finishing touch is adding fresh, health-boosting fruits and roots to create delectable “Shrub Shots” in 4 flavors: Beet & Honey, Turmeric & Honey, Ginger & Honey, and Tart Raspberry. These Shrub Shots can be drunk on their own, or mixed with sparkling water for a crisp and energizing spritzer. Add your favorite spirit for a delightful craft beverage; you can also use OMV in your culinary creations such as vinaigrettes, salsas, marinades, smoothies, and more.
