The elaboration of a different vinegar. Along with its origin, sherry vinegar owes its genuine characteristics to its aging process. Vinegar is aged in Jerez cellars following the traditional criaderas and soleras system, a method that explains the high complexity and extraordinary concentration of this condiment. Under this system, the vinegar for bottling is obtained from the row of boots located at ground level, called solera, which contains the oldest vinegars. The amount extracted or “takes out”, always a small part, is replaced by slightly younger vinegar from the row of boots immediately above, called the first criadera. This process is called “refreshed” or “dew” in the winery jargon. The same operation is repeated “refreshing” the first criadera with the vinegar contained in the third row of boots, or second criadera, and so on. This dynamic rearing method is ideal for the acetic acid bacteria to slowly and painstakingly perfect their work; In each criadera, the one that once was wine acquires a higher degree of acidity, concentration and complexity. A system that also explains why in the Marco de Jerez vinegars are produced that are subjected to exceptionally long aging, over 10 or 20 years.
