Sparrow Lane — Pear Raspberry Vinegar

Pear underneath, raspberry on top: the fruit vinegar that works where straight raspberry is shrill.

Raspberry vinegar on its own can be sharp and one-note. Sparrow Lane rounds it off with pear, which softens the edge and gives it body, so you get the bright berry without the bite. Built on their oak-barrel wine vinegar with real California fruit, no dyes, no artificial preservatives.

Who this is for

• Spinach salads with bacon, egg or goat cheese
• Duck, pork and roast chicken
• Over vanilla ice cream or fresh berries
• A splash in sparkling water or a cocktail
• Anyone who bought raspberry vinegar once and never finished the bottle
