White vinegar is a mixture of acetic acid and water mainly used in cooking as a condiment. It is known for its sour taste and its ability to add a touch of acidity to dishes. White vinegar is ideal for seasoning salads, preserving vegetables, and marinating. It is also an essential ingredient in the preparation of sauces and dressings. Try it in your recipes to give a touch of freshness to your dishes!
There is more than one method to obtain good vinegar, the simplest and quickest is certainly the one with the terracotta container
Take a well-washed and dried terracotta container and pour in a bottle of genuine white wine, cover with a folded cloth and leave it for about a month to allow the transformation to be complete
This system is quite effective, but to have vinegar made to perfection, it would be ideal to use the 'tinello', that container made with wooden staves that was once found in all country houses
Today it can be seen hanging on the wall of a kitchen as a decoration and certainly gives its rustic touch, but it would be better to know how to use it on occasions like this
The procedure is the same as with the terracotta container, but the fact is that with wood the result is different
It is always important to remember that: the liquid should never reach the edge but should always remain three fingers below; when you take out the vinegar to use it, you must always remember to add wine dregs in the same quantity; if the liquid starts to become cloudy, it must be filtered; the 'tinello' should never be left uncovered because dust could damage the acetylation process; if worms are noticed in the liquid, it should be heated to 60-70 degrees to destroy them
