Apple cider vinegar is very famous, not only for its delicate taste, but also for its therapeutic virtues , so to speak. For its production, the apple must or cider is fermented, which means that it contains all the benefits of the fruit from which it comes: it is a source of vitamins and minerals and has slimming properties.
Its cloudy liquid often has sediments which indicate its authenticity, provided however that it is not of industrial origin. In this case, in fact, it is mainly filtered and pasteurized, thus losing many characteristics, precisely those that make it a unique and healthy product. Finally, the addition of sulphites to extend its shelf life ends up compromising its organoleptic purity and weakening it.

You might not know it, but not only is it possible, it’s also super simple! However, a long rest period must be taken into account for fermentation to take place correctly.
