cuisine holds an amazing wealth of tastes, every dish is full of color and
aromas. One of the secrets behind this cuisine is Banyuls Wine Vinegar.

from an outstanding fortified wine naturally rich in sugar. The wine is stored
in 650 liter casks for 4 years where it is exposed to the wind and weather.

vanilla, and licorice notes. This complex taste will add character to any dish
