Dear Culinary Enthusiast,

I and my Merry Band of Tasters recently returned from our annual adventure in search of the world’s most revered barrel-aged vinegars. Oh, what treasures we’ve brought back for you!

For our all-new 2026 best-of-the-best collection, we narrowed down more than a hundred contenders and chose the top four—extraordinary master-made vinegars that will take your culinary creations to new heights of flavor and delight.

Last year’s four selections proved to be a smash hit among home cooks. I suspect the same will happen with this year’s selections because you just can’t find anything in US stores that comes close to these amazing vinegars. And the supplies we secure are always limited.

What Do My Artisanal Vinegars Have That Mass-Produced Supermarket Vinegars Lack?

The short answer is age and deep, rich, complex flavors. Supermarket vinegars are made in huge volume using high-speed machinery to produce vinegar in just one to three days.

Sadly, with this high-speed process, the vinegar never reaches its flavor potential because it isn’t given time to develop the innate characteristics of the ingredients—the wine or fruit, for example—from which it is made.

In contrast, artisanal vinegars are created by masters who start with fine wine or luscious fruit. Then they lovingly age their vinegars for years in wooden barrels. This unhurried, traditional process preserves and deepens the flavors of the original ingredients. The result is vinegar with deep, rich character and complex flavor. As you’ll taste for yourself, this makes all the difference when you add it to your favorite salads, stews, soups, sauces, desserts, and more.

I’m a Purist—and I Invite You to Be One, Too!

As a professionally trained chef, I’m a vinegar purist, old-fashioned in my tastes. That’s why, when members of the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club began asking for properly aged artisanal vinegars to complement their extra virgin olive oils, I set out to find the best that Mother Nature makes, helped along, of course, by the artisans at the great vinegar houses. I think of them as vinegar vintners because they do the same exacting work that wine vintners do. I’ll introduce you to them in a moment. But first…

Just Some of the Ways These Vinegars Will Take Your Cooking to the Next Level

As an acid, vinegar brings lively brightness and zest to dishes in the same way a squeeze of lemon does. But a lemon offers just one flavor. Each of the four vinegars in my curated collection has a unique and deliciously complex flavor profile. Just like a professional chef, you’ll now have a whole new palette of interesting new tastes to enhance a vast range of culinary creations. You’ll have so much fun and enjoyment discovering the possibilities. For example:

Delicious Sauces in a Jiffy—with Deglazing. Use any of these vinegars instead of (or even in addition to) wine to deglaze a pan and turn the fond (the crisp brown bits left after sautéeing) into a rich and quick sauce.

Mouthwatering Enhancements of Classic Dishes. Vinegar is an amazing addition to beurre blanc and béarnaise, to name just two classic butter sauces. With sugar, it creates the ultimate sweet-and-sour sauce known as gastrique.

Juicier Grilled Meats When Marinating. Because vinegar is acidic, it helps break down and tenderize protein fibers, for juicier grilled meats.

Deeper Flavors from Pickling. These vinegars don’t merely preserve foods but also impart a much more delectable tartness.

Drizzles That Dazzle. A few drops of any of these vinegars will enhance just about any dish, from a risotto to a charcuterie plate to berries and ice cream.

Fast and Fantastic Finishes. With just a single splash, you’ll add such flavorful notes to finish a tossed salad or braised greens. In seconds, you can elevate any soup or stew from good enough to glorious. You’ll have so many interesting ways to transform your marinades, vinaigrettes, sauces, desserts—and even your cocktails and mocktails!

Did I Say Cocktails? Oh, Yeah! You’re Gonna Love My Shrub Coolers!

shrub cooler cocktail

As you may have noticed, from corner pubs to the highest-end restaurants, the popularity of artisanal vinegar cocktails is exploding. You’ll understand why when you try the recipes I’ll provide for my favorite “Shrub Coolers.”

Shrub is an old-fashioned sugar-and-vinegar syrup that’s having a renaissance. The recipes I’ll share with you are fabulous alternatives to lemonade and other coolers. Enjoy them as mocktails or—to turn them into killer cocktails—just add a jigger of your favorite spirit.

And we’re just getting started!

In fact, nothing will inspire your creativity in the kitchen more than the combination of fresh-pressed olive oils and your new 2026 collection of world-class vinegars.

How These Vinegars Have Been Carefully Chosen to Complement My Fresh-Pressed Olive Oils and Enhance So Many Dishes

Move over, salt and pepper—vinegar and olive oil are in the house to enliven your dishes! While I don’t believe in any hard-and-fast rules, I do like to pair milder vinegars with milder oils so that one doesn’t overwhelm the other.

I’ll describe each of these 2026 vinegars in a moment. But as an example of the tasteful versatility they bring to your kitchen, if you’re using a bold selection from the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, you can now pair it with a bold Austrian Red Wine Vinegar. Or if you’re using a fruitier, milder olive oil, pair it with the Condimento Bianco Menta.

Think about the foods on your plate, too. If you’re making a salad with bitter greens, add sweetness with the rich Condimento Barili Exclusivi or a mildly acidic note with Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar. If you’re making a chopped salad with provolone and salami, the Austrian Red Wine Vinegar will balance the richness of the meat and cheese.

I also like to combine vinegars. For a vinaigrette with great complexity, use both Condimento Barili Exclusivi and Austrian Red Wine Vinegar with your fresh-pressed olive oil, as in the Sweet & Tart Vinaigrette I’ll provide with the 30 flavor-enhancing recipes included with your vinegar collection. The beauty of having all my wonderful vinegars in your pantry is that you can have fun discovering the pairings you like best.

Meet the Four Vinegars in My All-New 2026 Collection—from Sweet to Tart

I feel that it’s very important to always have a wide—and growing—selection of vinegars in the kitchen. Sometimes I want a sweeter note, other times one that’s more tart. While each of this collection’s vinegars can be used to enhance many of the same foods, from salads to sautés, you’ll get a different flavor profile from each:

Condimento Barili Exclusivi, a balsamic vinegar, adds sweet richness and complexity, especially as a finishing touch.

Condimento Bianco Menta, a blend of white cooked grape must and white wine vinegar, is enhanced with mint leaves for bright flavor.

Austrian Red Wine Vinegar, crafted from the wine of Austrian red grapes, delivers the right amount of acidity for a sweet-tart taste.

Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar, a sake base enhanced with exotic yuzu juice, has tangy notes that go far beyond lemons and limes.

In the special Vinegar Report that accompanies your 2026 vinegar collection, I’ll give you all the guidance you’ll need to use each vinegar like a master chef.

With the four exceptional vinegars in this collection, you’ll have so much fun discovering a wide variety of pairings that you, your family, and guests will relish in the months ahead.

And now let me share the extraordinary credentials of the four top vinegars I and my Merry Band of Tasters have sourced for you this year…

Condimento all“Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP” Barili Exclusivi

Vinegar #1 in Your All-New 2026 Artisanal Collection:
A Perfectly Balanced Balsamic di Modena

  • Vinegar Variety: Condimento all“Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP” Barili Exclusivi
  • Producer: Società Agricola Acetomodena, Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Vinegar Vintner: Paolo Vecchi
  • Flavor Profile: Rich and sweet

Founded by the intrepid Paolo Vecchi, whose family has Agricola Acetomodena is located in the heart of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, a food haven known for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Parma ham, and, of course, balsamic vinegar.

Indeed, all true balsamic vinegars must come from Modena. In keeping with strict traditions, our producer uses his own Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes (the only permitted varieties). What began as a passionate hobby for Paolo grew into a thriving business. There’s a friendly but fierce competition among Modena producers, and, in 2015 and 2022, Paolo won the prized—and not always awarded—title of Gran Riserva at the Palio della Ghirlandina. On the global stage, Acetomodena took home two silver medals at the United States International Vinegar Competition last year.

Condimento all“Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP” Barili Exclusivi

With so many bottles on supermarket and gourmet shop shelves labeled “balsamic,” it’s important to know how this authentic Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP is made. It’s created in an artisanal fashion, aged in barrels with a maximum volume of 300 liters (about 80 gallons) for as long as three years. It gets sweeter and more harmonious as it achieves the perfect ratio of density to acidity.

Mass producers, in contrast, take a far more hurried yet sadly less satisfying route, rapidly boiling down the grape must (imparting the flavor of burnt toast in the process), rather than reducing it slowly and with great patience. They tend to use only the minimum amount of grape must, blended with a high percentage of wine vinegar and aged in giant barrels holding 40,000 to 50,000 liters. The result is a product that lacks the quality and taste of a finely crafted vinegar.

Every year, I work hand in hand with manager Gary Paton to push the envelope further in terms of flavor. This year’s Condimento all“Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP Barili Exclusivi—meaning “from exclusive barrels”—is our richest yet.

Impressions and Recommended Food Pairings: This vinegar is the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness from grape must, along with woodiness from barrel-aging. At first, you’ll inhale the aromas of black raspberry jam, dried sour cherries, wild blueberries, and currants; and dark chocolate, followed by hints of vanilla pipe tobacco, leather, and toasted oak. The taste is thick, rich, and velvety, with a well-calibrated sweetness and tartness that comes in waves. There are notes of dried blueberries, prunes, red currants, raisins, marasca cherries, dark honey, and toasted cherrywood. Sweet and jammy, it has a long, pleasantly tangy finish.

Pair it with your fresh-pressed olive oils to enhance cheeses, from aged Parmigiano-Reggiano to fresh burrata; to make a sauce for pepper-and-herb-crusted filet and sausage & leek pasta; and to create a refreshing mojito balsamico. Drizzle it over charcuterie; roasted vegetable medley; tomatoes with a sprinkling of Maldon salt; fish, lamb, and egg dishes; risottos; strawberries balsamico, pineapple carpaccio with vanilla ice cream, flourless chocolate cake, quick breads, and French toast topped with berries.

“As a Food Network Executive, I’m grateful to T.J. for always bringing the best, most unique, and highest-quality products to my pantry!”

As a Food Network Executive I am blessed with exceptional exposure to wonderful, high-end food products and their passionate makers. Because of this, I have always recognized and deeply appreciated the care that T.J. takes in curating his oils, and this set of artisanal vinegars is no exception.

"ALL of the vinegars have their own point of view and unique uses. Thank you T.J., for inspiring my cooking creativity and for providing my pantry with a delightful and truly spectacular upgrade. I can't wait to try them in all of the ways you suggested from marinades to pickling. My vinaigrettes have never been so tasty. You’ve nailed it once again!Helen T., Brooklyn, NY

These vinegars are so delicious and all so unique. I have three children who probably didn't even know what vinegar was until our set arrived, and now I can't keep them out of it! They want to drink it from a spoon. I ordered oil and vinegar for a salad at a restaurant the other day, and the kids were horrified by the vinegar the server brought. I'm now raising olive oil and vinegar snobs, and I couldn't be happier about it!Kelly L., Chicago, IL

Once again, these vinegars from the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club deserve a place of honor alongside the Club’s astonishing olive oils!Jacqueline C., New York, NY

Condimento Bianco Menta

Vinegar #2 in Your All-New 2026 Artisanal Collection:
A Divine, One-of-a-Kind White Wine Vinegar

  • Vinegar Variety: Condimento Bianco Menta
  • Producer: Società Agricola Acetomodena, Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Vinegar Vintner: Paolo Vecchi
  • Flavor Profile: Fresh and floral

White vinegars made from specific grapes in Modena are called Condimento Bianco, or white condiment. Paolo Vecchi’s white condiment is made from his own famed Trebbiano grapes, which give this vinegar its unique light color.

Condimento Bianco Menta

Condimento Bianco is a complex white wine vinegar in the sweet style of a balsamic with wonderful aromatics and bright notes, light and refreshing, perfect for so many types of salads and other dishes. This year, I had the idea to infuse it with mint to create my exclusive Condimento Bianco Menta (White Condiment with Mint).

I knew it would be crucial to use classic Italian mint—an important distinction from the peppermint used in holiday cooking, which can be so overwhelming. Unlike vinegars misleadingly labeled “white balsamic” that have all sorts of colorings and flavorings as additional ingredients, nothing else goes into this naturally sweet vinegar.

Impressions and Recommended Food Pairings: On the nose, you’ll appreciate the notes of fresh chopped mint, honey, lemon peel, applewood, and malt. On the palate, it has the nuttiness of brown butter, the sweetness of white peaches, granny smith apples, wild clover honey, and honeysuckle, along with the smoothness of a vin santo or fine cream sherry and just a touch of caraway seeds.

This vinegar is beyond versatile. It adds delicate mint notes to salads, lemon-mint pesto, and tabbouleh as well as minty lamb chops and Tandoori-style chicken with cilantro-mint chutney. Drizzle it on zesty glazed carrots, fresh fruit salads, and other fruit dishes like pear tartlets and easy mango sorbet.

"Made me curse out loud it was so delicious."

I opened the first vinegar, poured a drop onto a wooden tasting spoon, and it actually made me curse out loud it was so delicious. I tried another vinegar next and was speechless. Now I cannot wait to make the Waldorf salad recipe that came in the Vinegar Collection Report. Teresa, Jacksonville, FL

My wife and I sampled the vinegar and happened to have another good quality vinegar on hand to compare it to. There was no comparison! The one from T.J. was far superior, with a rich viscosity and layers of intense, barrel-aged flavors that went on and on. We quickly tried it with strawberries, Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged provolone, a 3-year-aged Gouda, some 24-month prosciutto and ended with vanilla ice cream. We could have kept going because it elevated the eating experience of all these foods, and we have a long list of others we’re anxious to try. Charles N., New York, NY

My mouth is watering as I write this review! This was my favorite vinegar I have ever tasted, and I have tasted quite a few while traveling through the Modena region. Dave L., Round Lake, IL

Used it to do a lamb stew, using T.J’s recipe. For herbs, I used my homegrown rosemary, sage, lavender, and thyme: dried and crushed with the EVOO, the vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic. We wanted to lick the bowls! Jeanne S. B., Reno, NV

It's like sipping a fine wine with loads of character, leaving a delicious finish on the palate. Fit for a knight! Victor M., Asheville, NC

Gölles Austrian Red Wine Vinegar

Vinegar #3 in Your All-New 2026 Artisanal Collection:
A Must-Have Austrian Red-Wine Vinegar for Classic Dressings and Sauces

  • Vinegar Variety: Austrian Red Wine Vinegar
  • Producer: Gölles, Riegersburg, Styria, Austria
  • Vinegar Vintner: David Gölles
  • Flavor Profile: Tart and fruity
Gölles Raspberry Vinegar

This selection introduces you to a sensational Gölles vinegar we’ve never featured before, Austrian Red Wine Vinegar, made entirely from fine Austrian grapes.

I’m so pleased to be working with David Gölles, the third generation of the Gölles family involved in the business. David’s dad, Alois Gölles Jr., recently retired. Trained in the art of vinegar making from a very young age, David lives and breathes vinegar making. “I’m in the lucky position that my parents started working with fruits and producing fruit schnapps and vinegars more than 40 years ago—and that, more than 20 years ago, we started experimenting with other ingredients, such as grains for the whiskey and molasses for the rum,” David said.

The family’s vinegar history goes back even further, to the late 1950s, when Alois Gölles Sr. laid the cornerstone for today’s distillery and vinegar brewery. At that time, he had a small farm with three or four cows, a few pigs, and a couple of chickens, but then he became one of the first farmers in southeastern Styria to cultivate apple trees. During the ’60s, the farm animals were gradually replaced with orchards. He then began planting black currants to provide a second crop to supplement income. It was Alois Jr. who went to school for winemaking and fruit processing. Though the company has grown, it’s still a small, artisanal business with only about 25 employees, all of whom share the family’s passion. “More than half have been with us for 10 or more years, and some for over 20 years,” said David.

“Red wine vinegar, or Rotweinessig, is one of our most traditional vinegars in Austria,” he told me. “Along with apple vinegar, red wine vinegar is what Austrians use on a daily basis. We are fortunate to be at a latitude where red wine grapes feel at home. There are areas in Austria where we can produce great red wines and great white wines. For the Austrian Red Wine Vinegar in this collection, we take fresh wine made from the popular Zweigelt grape and do a second fermentation with specialized bacteria that convert the alcohol into acetic acid. This vinegar is then stored for several years in oak barrels, which softens the acidity while keeping that wonderful fresh taste, mild and harmonious.”

Though others have tried to copy the Gölles’s success, their attention to detail and their blending of Old World techniques with the latest innovations keep them in the lead, a position they are sure to maintain under David’s leadership. His plans include finding more sustainable ways to grow organic fruits, an endeavor that requires quite a bit of forward thinking, since some of their vinegars are aged for 10 years. He’s also envisioning new fruits to include, with pomegranates high on the list. “I'm always looking for great ingredients like fruits that might be very seasonal, available for a short time, or in a limited quantity, and contemplating how to craft a limited edition of some kind from them,” David told me. I’m already excited about the possibility of new artisanal vinegars!

Impressions and Recommended Food Pairings: Inhale the aroma of cherries, plums, and other stone fruit, with hints of dried apple and pear, strawberry jam, roasted nuts, hops, bourbon vanilla bean, and tobacco leaf. It has a beautifully balanced freshness in the mouth. Zesty and bold, it has notes of both red wine and a tawny port or oloroso sherry, with a fruit-forward beginning that gives way to the richness of brown butter, toffee, and hazelnuts.

Austrian Red Wine Vinegar is the must-have ingredient for classic dressings and sauces, like red wine vinaigrette, sweet & tart vinaigrette, and the essential marinade. It lends itself perfectly to so many cuisines, from South American chimichurri to French béarnaise and other sauces to Greek salad. It adds just the right acidic note to pasta with blistered tomatoes and other pasta sauces.

“I’m ruined for other vinegars!”

For all the years my wife and I have enjoyed the deliciousness and health benefits of Fresh-Pressed Olive Oils, we had wished for something more from T.J.: vinegars to pair with them that were chosen with his same scrupulous care to assure superb flavors and the highest quality! from small, artisanal producers. And our wish came true. His vinegars are seriously mind-blowing. I was totally unprepared for how amazing vinegars could be. Ridiculous. And now I’m ruined for other vinegars! I had a couple of pretty good quality vinegars in the house for comparison and they were not close to being in the same league.Charles N., New York, NY

The vinegars just arrived and I opened them immediately to do a taste test. I grabbed a teaspoon and opened each one individually to take a sip….Just had to shoot off my first reaction as soon as I tasted them all! WOW WOW WOW and WOW! FANTASTICO!Kate R., Eagle, ID

All of the vinegars are indeed much more layered in taste than any vinegar I’d tasted before….Absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for these beautiful vinegars and for all the information that came with them. What a lovely experience to look at them through your lens.Cynthia N., Chautauqua, NY

Blew me away!Sandy W., Sharon, CT

Omigosh! Created a very pleasant experience for my palate. Kudos to you, T.J.Ken G., Palm Coast, FL

Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar

Vinegar #4 in Your All-New 2026 Artisanal Collection:
A Zesty and Delicious Vinegar Surprise:
Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar

  • Vinegar Variety: Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar
  • Producer: American Vinegar Works, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States
  • Vinegar Vintner: Rodrigo Vargas
  • Flavor Profile: Citrusy and tangy

I know that each vinegar I present to you will delight your palate, but in every collection I always want to include one that will completely surprise you. This year it’s the Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar, and I’m proud to say it’s made right here in the US by American Vinegar Works. Founded in 2019 with the goal of creating unique, small-batch artisanal vinegars for cooking and cocktails, this young company is dedicated to making vinegars with a sense of place, as Rodrigo Vargas, the founder, told me.

Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar

Everything used to craft these vinegars—from the alcohol that’s fermented to the 25-gallon oak barrels used for aging—is American made. Rodrigo even created his own equipment with the help of university scientists in the area. It’s based on a 1800s drip-fermentation system that was considered high-tech in its day. And the entire operation is housed in an old mill complex that’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Rodrigo has a European sensibility when it comes to food from his childhood. His family spent summers with aunts, uncles, and grandparents in southern Portugal. “Everyone there is obsessed with ingredients and food. If you wanted octopus you’d go to this town, if you wanted rabbit, you’d go to that town—you would chase down food because that’s in your DNA,” he said.

Wanting to pursue a food venture that he could be that passionate about, Rodrigo left behind a career in the corporate world—a path shared by many of the premier food producers I work with. “I was looking at the trends happening in the food world—more premiumization and better ingredients,” he said. “And vinegar was uniquely poised to be a specialty food. I thought I could make a better vinegar than what was available—I knew that I could have an impact. The catch was that I had never actually made vinegar before.” And so began his vinegar education.

In just a few short years, Rodrigo’s vinegars have won great acclaim, including from the New York Times. I knew that together we could craft a unique vinegar exclusively for the T. J. Robinson Curated Culinary Selections. But, as with artisanal vinegar-making in general, my Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar took time. From concept to creation to arriving at your door, it was well over a year in the making. I knew that I wanted a rice wine vinegar—such an important ingredient in Asian cooking—and, for a completely one-of-a-kind creation, to enhance it with juice of the yuzu fruit.

Rice wine vinegar starts with sake, the beloved Japanese drink made from rice. However, our sake is American made. It’s a junmai-grade sake from California. Junmai means that it’s pure—nothing other than rice is added to the fermenting mixture. Water is important when making sake, and, for ours, the water came from the Sierra Nevada mountains. The rice wine itself was not “seasoned,” meaning it had no sugar added, just the mellowness that comes from aging.

Exactly what is yuzu? It’s an Asian citrus fruit with a strong, perfumed aroma and a highly complex flavor profile, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin orange—tart, sweet, and floral all at the same time. Its thick and bumpy rind goes from green to yellow as it ripens, and its milky yellow juice has deep flavor.

We experimented at great length with proportions to find just the right balance of yuzu and rice wine so that both tastes would come through. We rounded it out with organic blue agave for a little bit of sweetness. The result is a sweet-tart vinegar with a flavor that will wow you and your guests as it did me.

Impressions and Recommended Food Pairings: Savor the aromas of fresh-squeezed yuzu juice and yuzu peel, lemongrass, honeysuckle, tangerine, and thyme. There are notes of fine sake with hints of fermented rice and an aged white wine. Taste the complexity and earthiness of a fine drinking sake with the bitterness and pungency of kumquat and the spiciness of fresh ginger, along with Sicilian lemon, candied lemon peel, and baby mustard greens. Then enjoy with a long, bright citrus finish.

Use Yuzu Rice Wine Vinegar in all Asian cooking as well as in any recipe that calls for citrus—add just a teaspoon for a punch of flavor in sweet or savory recipes. It makes a zesty vinaigrette for greens, quick cucumber salad, other vegetable salads, fruit salads, and salads with grains, and an excellent marinade for herbed salmon fillets. Drizzle it over seafood dishes like ceviche, tuna tataki, and crudo. Swap it for lemon juice in aioli, homemade mayo, and tzatziki sauce. It enhances citrus-based desserts, from granitas to lemon-yuzu tiramisu, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks like yuzu margarita and fruit shrub.

“We only use select American beers, wines, ciders, and sakes in our vinegars because we want them to reflect a true sense of place. The better the alcohol you start with, the better the vinegar you produce,” Rodrigo told me. “And they’re all made, aged, and bottled right here.”

“Friends wonder what our ‘secret’ is!”

Absolutely sublime! Once again, friends wonder what our ‘secret’ is!Charles N., New York, NY

Can't wait to drizzle some on my sweet potatoes or brussels sprouts. My daughter-in-law makes an outstanding charcuterie board, and this pairing would be the coup de grace!Victor M., Asheville, NC

The entire collection is great.Peter H., New Paltz, NY

My wife and I really enjoyed last year’s vinegars, so we were incredibly excited to receive this year’s selection. We live on the coast of North Carolina, and we love to fish. We had some fresh speckled trout and used one of our favorite recipes to prepare it. We drizzled the vinegar over the fish right before serving. Wow! We were blown away how it elevated the dish. The flavor really stood out. We can’t wait to try some of the recipes in The Vinegar Collection Report.Steve S., Edenton, NC

Leaning on the complexity and quality of these artisan vinegars takes a lot of effort out of the rest of the meal preparation, either with the number of steps or ingredients.”Ryan B., Greenville, SC

This new vinegar collection is sublime, absolutely sublime.Dr. Andrew Wells, Candler, NC

An outstanding homage to one of the ‘unsung’ heroes of the culinary condiment world, vinegars! Absolutely blown away by these vinegars' intensity and bright, bold pops of flavors that enhanced every dish I splashed them on! THANK YOU, Fresh Pressed Olive Oil, for bringing us this extraordinary vinegar collection!Sandee Q., Bridgeport, PA

Health Benefits of Vinegar

As published in U.S. News & World Report

The health-related benefits of vinegar aren’t a new phenomenon. Back in 400 B.C. the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates reportedly used fruit-derived vinegars to treat wounds, coughs and other ailments. Fast-forward to today, and vinegar is showing promise as a tool to improve blood sugar control and blood lipid (cholesterol) levels—perks that stem largely from the polyphenols and the acetic acid in vinegar, and the probiotics (health-promoting bacteria) that result from the fermentation process.

“Vinegar can do wonders for your blood sugar.”

Bottom Line’s Book of Health Breakthroughs

The scientific evidence of vinegar’s blood sugar benefits is strong and consistent,” reports Carol Johnston, RD, PhD, professor and assistant director of the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion at Arizona State University, Phoenix.

As Dr. Johnston explains, “A recent statistical analysis of the 11 best studies concluded that consuming vinegar with a meal, compared with having the same meal without vinegar, reduced postmeal blood sugar spikes by an average of 40%.

Why this matters: Much of the metabolic damage caused by diabetes—and prediabetes—is caused by these spikes.

Timing: For the best effect on blood sugar, consume vinegar at or near the start of a meal.… For the most reliable effect, dilute two tablespoons of vinegar in a glass of water and drink it with the first bites of the meal.

“Can’t go back to store-bought vinegars.”

Our vinegars from The Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club arrived and we were impressed with the handsome well-made bottles for each vinegar. With fresh helpings from our local farmers market, we began tasting each. The flavors are lively, extremely fresh and worldly. I don’t believe our family can go back to store-bought vinegars as we would be missing the savor these vinegars add to our meals. We look forward to sharing our new vinegars with family and friends. The vinegars are not only savory, but pour so nicely and make each dish all the more delectable!Danielle J., Schererville, IN

I love making salads and thought I had a pretty good assortment of vinegars next to my Fresh-Pressed olive oils. One taste of each of these selections and it was goodbye to the whole lot of vinegars I was using before.Alexandra C., Brooklyn, NY

I’m a home cook. I once thought I was being fancy getting the ‘high end’ bottles of oil and vinegar at a health food market. That was until I discovered the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club. It has changed my home kitchen space and how I think of flavors to enhance my cooking. I started having gatherings of my friends who are home cooks when each new bottle arrived so we could explore and ideate about the use of each divine flavor. I was thrilled to see there is a new vinegar collection! I blame my family's belief that I'm a pretty good home cook on Chef T.J. Robinson's ability to hand select and deliver the finest options that make me, a home chef, feel like I know what I'm doing!Missy G., Fletcher, NC

We just received our first vinegar shipment and WOW! What a delicious, simple way to elevate home cooked meals, especially roasted veggies, salads, and meat marinades. I was impressed with the variety in one shipment—something for everybody. What a fun and flavorful addition to our exquisite olive oil also curated by The Olive Oil Hunter. The only thing better would be if TJ would come cook for us! Until then, we’ll flex our ‘gourmet’ skills with his olive oil and vinegars!Caley & Nicholas K., Jupiter, FL

Because of the immense variety of products at stores, online, etc., the choice is overwhelming. There is no way to know which products are good and which are not. But T.J.'s model is to travel the world tasting, curating, and delivering superior olive oils, and now vinegars. With him doing the work, I don’t have to suffer the many duds available on the store shelf that are all promise with no proof.

“I feel blessed to have been able to experience the variety of amazing oils. And now, the vinegars. I’ve always liked that T.J. called the EVOOs 'sauce.' The same can be said for these vinegars: they are stand-alone sauces. Tasting them is proof; all you need is a spoon. Unlike most store-bought vinegars, these have no nasty after-flavors. No chemical astringency. They taste finished right out of the bottle. As a part of a bigger package, a recipe of wonderful ingredients, these sauces are bound to make your meals nicer.Christopher M.

Special Request:
RSVP Now. This Is a One-Time Offer (Not a Club) and Quantities Are Strictly Limited

My personally curated collection of artisanal vinegars is a one-time offer. It’s not a club, so you won’t receive any automatic shipments in the future. I have a very limited quantity of these sets. When they’re gone, they’re gone, and I am announcing them to all 30,000 members of our Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club.

I must ask that if you’d like one or more of these sets, please respond right away to avoid disappointment.

Why These Vinegars Are So Special to Me…and Will Be to You!

For years our Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club members have been quite vocal in their demand for vinegars as fine as our olive oils. To me, it’s always been a paradox that these two foods that match so perfectly on the plate must be crafted so differently on the farm! A great olive oil must be super fresh—right from the harvest—while a great vinegar must age so long in a series of barrels.

Luckily, the world of olive oil is closely tied to the world of vinegar. On my olive oil hunts over the years, I and my Merry Band of Olive Oil Tasters have gotten to know vinegar producers around the globe and have developed relationships, indeed friendships, with them.

I’m thrilled to be able to bring you the best vinegars I’ve ever tasted from the best of these producers. For this collection, I chose four renowned makers in Europe where crafting vinegar is a high art. Theirs are the vinegars I would bring home from my travels, stuffed into my suitcase, hoping I’d have enough to last until my next visit. I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring them to you now!

I can’t wait for you to experience these vinegars in your favorite dishes and in the 30 kitchen-tested recipes I’ll include in your all-new 2026 Vinegar Collection Report. In your Report, I’ll also describe the complete heritage and pedigree of each vinegar. You’ll also meet the proud artisans who create these world-class vinegars and hear, in their own words, why they are so passionate about making vinegars that are esteemed as among the finest in the world.

I assure you, once you start enjoying these master-made artisanal vinegars, with their deep, rich, palate-awakening flavors as complex as the finest wines, you’ll never go back to the mass-produced, one-note wannabes that fill our supermarket vinegar shelves.

Tasting is believing. That is what I invite you to do now.

Happy drizzling,
