Columela 30 Year Aged Sherry Vinegar D.O.P. – 12.7 oz | Gran Reserva from Jerez | Rich, Complex & Smooth Spanish Vinegar

Perfect for cooking, salad dressings, etc

I used to be able to buy this at Whole Foods. After they discontinued it, I found it at another store which is now closed. There is no longer any true Sherry vinegar anyplace that I shop. I have ordered it online repeatedly, but it has not always been available, so I have tried a few other brands. This one is still my favorite. It has a nuttiness and umami that other vinegars lack. I use it every day for salads.

So, I've never had any sherry vinegar as far as I know. I saw this in a recipe and thought it sounded interesting. I cook with sherry a lot. BUT - this did not really taste the way I imagined it would. Sherry is at least slightly sweet. This on the other hand is a powerfully strong vinegar product, not reminiscent of balsamic vinegar at all. However, it has a great flavor and will no doubt go well in many sauces, etc., and even in savory dishes a dash will add some brightness and freshness to the finish. For a treat, mix 1/2 cup of sherry vinegar with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, bring to a simmer over med-low heat and concentrate it down. The resulting sauce/glaze is great with fish (esp. salmon), grilled vegetables, and even as a drizzle over berries and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Great packing, and vinegar is very good.

Delicious!

I bought a bottle of regular Columela and a bottle of the 30 year. Just spend the extra few bucks and get the aged vinegar, as it is clearly more flavorful.

I bought this Columela Sherry Vinegar to use as a substitute for Chinese Black Vinegar, which I haven’t been able to find gluten-free. Multiple websites mentioned using Sherry Vinegar instead, and this did work really well. This is just what I needed as the final touch for some recipes I’d been putting off.

I’ve been using red wine vinegar in my gazpacho for years and recently discovered that sherry vinegar was “the” thing to use. I took a look at a bunch of different sherry vinegars and finally settled on this 30 year sherry vinegar. I was blown away with the results. It has absolutely made my gazpacho next-level fabulous! If you’re on the fence about whether to go with a younger or older sherry vinegar or wondering whether to use a sherry vinegar at all, just try this one. You won’t be disappointed. There is not a lot in the bottle, but it really didn’t take much. Bon appetit!
