gran capirete, 50 year aged "rserva" spanish wine vinegar

Sherry Vinegar History
Both sherry (the wine) and the vinegar have been produced in southern Spain since well before the 16th century.  It is believed that the Greeks first brought wine to Spain in the 5th or 6th century. The use of vinegars for food and medicinal purposes is mentioned in the bible.

Jerez de la Frontera has been producing sherry since at least since the 16th century.  Duque de Diano located in Jerez is the largest producer in of aged sherry vinegar in the world.

Aging
Similar to Balsamic you'll find sherry vinegars with different agings including 30 year, 50 year and sometimes up to 75 years. As with fine balsamics the older high quality vinegars are sometimes used as an apertif or "digestive" (after meal).

Sherry Vinegar Uses
Use sherry vinegar with salads, in sauces or other dishes.  One of the best Thanksgiving turkeys I ever prepared used sherry vinegar in the stuffing and the marinade for the bird.  The sherry vinegar gravy was the best gravy I've tasted.
