Your Best Source for Gourmet Vinegars



In gourmet circles, vinegar is often center stage these days. A star in salads, marinades, sauces, main dishes, desserts, and more, vinegar has gone gourmet.

Here at Newcastle Produce, we are your best source for gourmet vinegars because we have dozens of varieties to choose from, including several new additions. Stop in and sample them today!

Earth & Vine Provisions
This is perhaps the most popular product line in our store, and the vinegars from Earth & Vine live up to that reputation. We carry six varieties: California Chardonnay Balsamic Vinegar (earthy and robust), California White Zinfandel Balsamic Vinegar (fragrant and tangy), California Champagne Balsamic Vinegar (crisp, sweet, and great over berries for dessert!), California Sherry Balsamic Vinegar (with a nutty sweetness), California Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar (makes a terrific vinaigrette), and California White Balsamic Vinegar (light and fragrant).

O Olive Oil
We have several new vinegars from O, including Sherry Vinegar (with rich caramel and nut flavors), Yuzu Rice Vinegar (with a lemon-lime citrus zing), Soy Rice Vinegar (rich and aromatic), and Ginger Rice Vinegar (with a bright ginger flavor).

Restaurant LuLu
This popular San Francisco restaurant has a line of inspired goods, including these two new vinegars we now carry: Fig Balsamic Vinegar (featuring California Black Mission Figs, great on strawberries) and Fig & Meyer Lemon Balsamic (delicious on salads, artichokes, or grilled asparagus).

California Harvest
We also carry several fruit vinegars from California Harvest, made from pure fruit essences, fruit, and California varietal vinegars. Sweet, tangy, and very versatile, these vinegars create delicious salad dressings and more. Try the Red Raspberry Champagne Vinegar over grilled asparagus. Saute red onions with their award-winning Pomegranate Champagne Vinegar. Try the Pear Champagne Vinegar on a salad of endive, gorgonzola, and pears. Their Fig Lemon Balsamic Vinegar is a delicious compliment to chicken, and the Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar makes sliced avocadoes sing.
