Tasting Collection

All three POME vinegars in one box, so you can taste them against each other. Side by side is the fastest way to understand what cider fruit and time in oak actually do. The differences are obvious in the glass and much harder to describe on a label.

What is in the box

• Bittersweet. Made from bittersweet cider apples. Dark, concentrated, with structure and grip. The foundation.
• Barrel Aged. A blend of Oregon dessert and cider apples, rested in oak until it turns deep and savoury. A finishing vinegar.
• Marionberry. Whole Oregon marionberries macerated in apple cider vinegar, with no added sweetness.

Choose three 8 ounce bottles or three 16 ounce bottles. The three are always the same size within a collection.

Tasting them side by side

Put a teaspoon of each in water, in the same proportion, and work from lightest to darkest. Start with the Bittersweet, then the Marionberry, then the Barrel Aged. Taste the Bittersweet first and everything after it makes more sense.
