Artisan Vinegar Company's long history of fine food awards continues with 4 gongs at the 2025 Great Taste Awards, including prestigious 3-star awards for our flagship Artisan Malt Vinegar and our new Raspberry Shrub.

At the Artisan Vinegar Company we believe that we make the best malt vinegar in the world.  If you seek to produce fantastic fish-and-chips, champion chutney, or are simply looking for the finest flavour, then our Artisan Malt Vinegar may be the ingredient you need.  Drizzle a little into a salad dressing; splash it onto your beautifully battered fish and your perfectly fried chips, and taste the difference!

Artisan Raspberry Vinegar starts life as 100% whole raspberries. We take the pure juice and ferment it into an intense raspberry wine, which then goes through a slow, natural process transforming the raspberry wine into Artisan Raspberry Vinegar. It is then barrel-matured until smooth and tangy.

Artisan Cider Vinegar is made from traditional Cornish apples. We squeeze the pure juice and ferment it into a strong dry cider, which then goes through a slow, natural process transforming the cider into Artisan Cider Vinegar. It is then oak-matured until smooth and woody.

Artisan Honey Vinegar is made from 100% whole Cornish wildflower honey. We brew that into a powerful, fragrant mead (honey wine) and then transform the mead into Artisan Honey Vinegar. It is then sweetened with some of the same raw wildflower honey, and barrel matured.

Like all our fruit vinegars Artisan Blackberry Vinegar is made from 100% whole fruit and is sold live (with ‘the Mother’), raw, unpasteurised, drawn straight from the barrel.

'Kea' plums are a traditional Cornish variety of damson. Artisan Damson & Sloe Vinegar is a sour, tangy vinegar made from Kea damson plums and wild sloes.

Strawberries make a surprisingly sharp, acidic vinegar. To balance that we sweeten the finished vinegar a touch and infuse with additional whole-fruit strawberries.

Shrub is a family of traditional vinegar-based drinking syrups, Our Apple Shrub brings a burst of fresh flavour you won't find in any supermarket cordial or squash!

Our Blackberry Shrub reflects the origins of modern shrubs in the medicinal cordials of the middle ages - a refreshing tonic drink blending smooth fruit flavour with a tangy and almost antiseptic edge, ideal as a tonic.

We all know that raspberries make a great vinegar - but the vibrancy and punchy flavour are taken to another level when that vinegar is used to make Raspberry Shrub! Enjoy it diluted as a refreshing summer drink or use it to bring a burst of flavour to your cocktail!

If you'll excuse a personal reflection, this is my personal favourite of our shrubs! Strawberries and vinegar are a classic pairing, and the combination of our Artisan Strawberry Vinegar with fresh pressed strawberry juice creates a truly refreshing summer drink.
