Northland Vinegars — Craft Finishing Vinegars for the Kitchen
Handcrafted in Minnesota, each of these vinegars starts with locally brewed beer, cider or spirits and is transformed through natural fermentation into raw, un-pasteurized “living” vinegar. The result: deep flavour, texture, and real kitchen utility.
Our Selection
Aged Apple Cider Vinegar – 4 oz
Made from heirloom Minnesota ciders and aged in toasted American white oak, this vinegar brings orchard sweetness and mellow barrel-notes to everything from pulled pork to roasted vegetables.
Black Garlic Rice Vinegar – 4 oz
A sake-based rice vinegar infused with black garlic for rich umami and caramel-molasses depth—excellent for ramen bowls, vinaigrettes with sesame oil, or finishing a stir-fry.
Celery Aquavit Vinegar – 4 oz
Inspired by Nordic tradition, fresh celery and Minnesota aquavit join to deliver herbaceous, vegetal intrigue—ideal for pickles, salads or a savory soda-water sipper.
Cherry Bourbon Cider Vinegar – 4 oz
This bold vinegar combines tart apples & cherries with Minnesota bourbon’s oak and vanilla tones—a perfect match for pork, dressings, or even a mocktail spritz.
Chipotle Stout Beer Vinegar – 4 oz
A full-bodied stout beer vinegar co-fermented with smoky chipotle peppers, bringing earthy heat and depth for grilled meats, beans or steak finishes.
Why Choose These?
- Raw and un-pasteurized: they keep the “mother” intact for flavour and authenticity.
- Locally made in Minnesota from craft base brews or spirits, each bottle tells a story.
- Versatile finishing ingredients: these aren’t your standard vinegars, they elevate dishes, not just acidify them.
Move Beyond Everyday Vinegar
Instead of standard apple cider or wine vinegar, use these crafted options to deepen flavour, create signature finishes, and make your cooking feel more intentional and elevated.
Note: As raw living vinegar, store sealed and consider refrigerating after opening to maintain peak flavour intensity.
