Sherry Vinegar
Rich, aromatic and wonderfully versatile, Pommery Sherry Vinegar 500ml is a traditional Spanish-style vinegar with a beautifully rounded flavour and a gentle sweetness. Also known as Vinaigre de Xérès, this speciality sherry wine vinegar has been carefully selected by the historic French condiment producer Moutarde de Meaux Pommery for its distinctive character and quality.
Made from sherry wine and aged in traditional oak barrels, Pommery Sherry Vinegar develops a complex flavour with subtle nutty notes, a mellow richness and a pleasantly sharp finish. Its balanced acidity makes it particularly delicious in homemade salad dressings, marinades and sauces, where it adds depth without overwhelming the other ingredients.
Sherry vinegar is a favourite in Spanish and Mediterranean cooking, working beautifully with roasted peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and slow-cooked meats. Try whisking it with extra virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard for a rich vinaigrette, adding a splash to a homemade gazpacho or using it to deglaze a pan after cooking pork or chicken. It's also lovely drizzled over roasted vegetables, particularly sweet peppers, carrots and butternut squash.

What makes sherry vinegar different from red wine vinegar?
Sherry vinegar is produced from sherry wine and traditionally develops its flavour through ageing in wooden barrels. Compared with many red wine vinegars, it often has a more rounded, nutty character with subtle sweetness and greater complexity. Red wine vinegar tends to have a more direct, fruity sharpness, while sherry vinegar brings a distinctive savoury richness.
Why is sherry vinegar particularly popular in Spanish cooking?
Sherry vinegar has a long culinary association with Andalusia in southern Spain, where sherry wine is traditionally produced. Its distinctive flavour works particularly well with the region's olive oil, tomatoes, garlic and roasted vegetables. It's an important ingredient in dishes such as gazpacho, escabeche and traditional Spanish salad dressings.
Can sherry vinegar be used to make a pan sauce?
Yes, sherry vinegar is excellent for deglazing a frying pan after cooking meat or vegetables. Once the main ingredients have been removed, add a small splash of vinegar to the warm pan and scrape up the caramelised cooking juices. Allow it to reduce briefly before adding stock or butter to create a rich, tangy sauce. Start with a small amount, particularly when using a vinegar with 7% acidity.
