Equipo Navazos La Bota Vinagre Reserva Nº 127

La Bota de Vinagre is a very exclusive and old sherry vinegar that comes from the famous wine region Marco de Jerez in southern Spain. This vinegar is not a standard kitchen product, but a true delicacy that has been refined by generations of craftsmanship. What makes this vinegar so unique is the extreme maturation time and the intensity of the taste.

Sherry vinegar is made by acidifying sherry wine and then maturing it for years in wooden barrels using the solera system. This is a traditional maturation method where older and younger vinegars are continuously mixed together, creating a deep complexity of flavour.

In the case of La Bota de Vinagre, however, it is an exceptionally old and concentrated vinegar that has often spent decades in a single barrel. This long maturation results in an extremely powerful vinegar with intense aromas and a rich taste.

The flavour of this vinegar is deep, complex and intensely concentrated. It has the characteristic fresh-sour notes of sherry vinegar, but also a deep umami richness, together with aromas of dried fruit, nuts and a hint of caramel. Some editions, such as the Gran Reserva al Moscatel, have a subtle sweetness from the muscatel grape, which softens the sharp acidity.

How do you use this vinegar?
Due to its extreme concentration, La Bota de Vinagre is not a vinegar that you pour liberally over a dish. Just a few drops are enough to give a dish extra depth and refinement. The best way to use this vinegar is:

In a vinaigrette: Mix a few drops with olive oil, salt and possibly mustard or honey for a perfect dressing.
As a finishing touch: Drizzle a small amount over roasted vegetables, grilled meats or even mashed potatoes for an extra In sauces and marinades: A dash in a gravy or sauce instantly adds complexity and freshness.
