In this section you will find som of the FAQ's about our Moscato Vinegar & Glaze Vinegar

Origins of Papa Vince Vinegar

To bring friends and families closer together around the dinner table with all natural and quality products grown, harvested, and provided by a family business with the sole intention of introducing people from around the world to wholesome and healthy foods for clean eating and better living.

It is 100% harvested and produced in Sicily, Italy.

Papa Vince is available for purchase from thePapa Vince website, as well as sold onAmazon.

Papa Vince Vinegar defined

We call it Moscato Vinegar because it is made with Moscato grapes (also Catarratto and Inzolia grapes)

The main difference between Regular Vinegar and Papa Vince Vinegar is the AGING. Let us explain.

Most vinegar producers ferment (don’t age) their vinegar in 3 days or less.
But how? They add yeast and sugar! This accelerates the fermentation and allows them to produce tons of vinegar!


At Papa Vince we age the vinegar for 8 YEARS! Yes, it takes time… And that's why we only produce 1000 lt of Moscato Vinegar per year!


Why do we age it for 8 years?
Because it contributes to the production of Organic Acids, it loads the vinegar with vitamins, minerals & antioxidants, and it also changes the vinegar’s taste: it changes it from acidic and bitter to a sweeter taste with a wonderful wine finish.


As a family owned business, we focus on the quality (not quantity) of our products!

A deposit found in the bottle is a natural occurrence of the product, and it does not alter quality.

Glaze Vinegar is reduced Moscato Vinegar, with the addition of Royal Jelly. This thickens the Vinegar without adding sugar. 

YES! Our vinegar doesn't have added sugar, and it's NOT MADE FROM GRAPE CONCENTRATE, it’s made with Red Wine Vinegar and Cooked Grape-Must!

All natural, non-artificial addings!

Papa Vince Vinegar is made with 3 grape types: Catarratto, Inzolia and Moscatello, and they’re all harvested in Sicily, Italy.

We cook our freshly harvested grapes to make fresh must and then mix with our fresh wine. The percentage of wine determines the thickness of the final product. We mix about 20% grape-must to 80% fresh wine. Then we add our 41-year old starter and age for 8 years in wood. 

All natural, we don’t add sugar or yeast!

Nutrition

Only 6%.


And let’s share a secret: it only contains NATURAL sulfites.

Our Moscato Vinegar is made with Red Wine Vinegar and Cooked Grape-Must.

We only use Catarratto, Inzolia and Moscatello grapes.

1 serving (15ml) contains:
- Calories: 12
- Total fat, Cholesterol, Sodium and Protein: 0g
- Total carb: 3g (0g fiber, 3g sugar)

Less than 1%.

The only difference between our Balsamic Glaze and Moscato Vinegar is that Glaze is a vinegar reduction with the addition of Royal Jelly.

This allows us to thicken the consistency without adding sugar.

We do not add sulfites. They are naturally occurring. We use Oak and Chestnut barrels, and they do not have a lead lining.

Aging

It’s aged for 8 years in Oak & Chestnut casks. As the vinegar ages in the barrels, it acquires flavors from the wood, and its acidity mellows.

It is aged in Oak & Chestnut casks.

The aging changes the vinegar taste from acidic and bitter to a sweeter taste with a wonderful wine finish.


It's so good you can even sip it!

Due to its long fermentation (8 years) Papa Vince Vinegar is LOADED with vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.

AGED 8 YEARS
Most vinegars in the market, including balsamics, are not aged. Enzymes and yeast are added to complete the fermentation process in 3 days. MASSIVE PRODUCTION

PAPA VINCE IS LIMITED PRODUCTION
We only produce about 1000 liters / year. This is an artisanal product.

PAPA VINCE IS LOADED WITH VITAMINS, MINERALS & ANTIOXIDANTS due to its long fermentation.

- Enhances muscle blood flow and glucose uptake in persons with impaired glucose tolerance and hypertriglyceridemia
- Reduces of hypertensive and acts as an anti-fatigue
- Daily intake of a drink containing 15 mL vinegar for 12 weeks significantly decreases body weight in obese people.

All the health benefits associated with Vinegar are true for artisan production and slow fermentation.
Yes, there are cheaper vinegars in the market; vinegar that is produced in mass but.... there is a price: the price is your health.

Papa Vince Balsamic Glaze is made with the best ingredients. Have you read our nutritional panel? When you do, you will see that it is packed with vitamins and minerals.

When we brought our sample to the lab to create our nutritional panel, the lab was astonished with the results.
Let us explain:

You see, vitamins tend to degrade with time and unless there is a significant amount of them in food, they cannot be mentioned on the nutritional panel. The lab told us that most food companies fatten their products with "synthetic vitamins".

In our case, due to the authenticity and freshness of all our ingredients, we were able to preserve a significant amount of naturally-occurring vitamins which are 100% absorbable by the human body. Can you see how important this is to our body's health?

Since the very beginning, our family policy has always been HEALTH FIRST!! Yes, it can be pricey but, is it really?

This is what our family believes and it is part of being stubborn Sicilians!!

Health

The best way is to consume with EVOO because you double the health benefits of both extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. 

Most of the vitamins and minerals are fat solubles. So adding EVOO to your salad increases the ability of your body to absorb nutrients.  

If you need some insipration you can make this Salad Dressing Recipe, and don't forget to tell us how it was!

You can also sprinkle your veggies with our Vinegar and it is going to be DELICIOUS!

Consistency

We do not reduce our balsamic vinegar. This is the consistency our family loves for salads and we just share what we love.

Our balsamic vinegar is designed for salads.
We cooked our freshly harvested grapes to make fresh must and then mix with our fresh wine. The percentage of wine determines the thickness of the final product. We mix about 20% grape-must to 80% fresh wine. Then we add our 41-year old starter and age for 8 years in wood.

Please note that our vinegar is not made from concentrate therefore it will not taste sugary. Instead, it is made with fresh must, fresh wine aged 8 years in wood. Once you put a drop in your mouth, the difference will become very evident.
