Distilled vinegar
Distilled vinegar is a clear, acidic liquid made by fermenting alcohol—usually derived from grains or other sources—into acetic acid, which gives it its sharp taste. It is purified through distillation, which removes impurities and results in a high-purity vinegar with a strong, clean flavor. Commonly used in cooking, pickling, and cleaning, distilled vinegar typically contains about 5-8% acetic acid. Its neutral color and potent acidity make it versatile for enhancing flavors and disinfecting surfaces, all while maintaining a consistent quality and potency.
