Ariston Fruit Vinegar Condiment — Plum & Raspberry

Thicker and sweeter than a vinegar, sharper than a syrup — these sit between the two, which is why Ariston calls them condiments rather than vinegars. Pour rather than splash.

Both are made from real fruit, so they taste of plum and raspberry rather than of sweetened acid.

How to use them

• Over cheese — raspberry with goat cheese, plum with something aged and hard
• Roast and grilled meat — plum over duck or pork is the classic pairing
• Salads — a small amount goes further than a standard vinegar
• Drinks — a spoonful in soda water makes a shrub; also good in a cocktail

Choose your fruit

• Plum — deep and savoury-sweet; the one for meat and hard cheese
• Raspberry — brighter and sharper; salads, soft cheese and desserts
