ezzich Vinegar Manufactory: Organic vinegar from Middle Franconia

Daniela and Roberto Rotella's manufactory is located in Großhaslach near Petersaurach, a few kilometers southwest of Nuremberg. The idea was born in 2016 after a vinegar seminar in Austria; since October 2021, vinegar has been produced in Franconia – initially eight varieties, today over twenty. "Ezzich" is the Middle High German spelling of "Essig" (vinegar), and the company's slogan hits the nail on the head: Franconian. Sour. Good. All vinegars are certified organic and are bottled and labeled by hand.

White wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar

The BASIC vinegars are fermentation vinegars produced using the generator method: acetic acid bacteria sit on a carrier material in reactors with plenty of oxygen, the vinegar mother forms naturally, and nothing is heated. The white wine vinegar is made from Bacchus, the red wine vinegar from Dornfelder – both organic wines from the Hofmann winery in Ergersheim, with 6% acidity. The apple cider vinegar comes from regional organic apple wine. All three are available as 500 ml kitchen bottles and as 250 ml bottles.

Fruit vinegars and infused vinegars

With the FRUIT vinegars, the fruit is already included in the fermentation process; color and flavor come exclusively from the fruit: raspberry vinegar, aronia vinegar, and fig vinegar, with no added sugar. The SPICE vinegars are infused vinegars based on the wine vinegars: wild garlic vinegar, tomato vinegar, porcini vinegar, and the spice vinegar with dried tomatoes, onions, herbs, and garlic. The red wine balsam combines red wine vinegar with reduced grape juice and cane sugar; it is mild and liquid, not a balsamic vinegar. For an introduction, there is the Fruit & Basic Tasting Set with six 60 ml bottles in a wooden box.
