What is the composition of Archie's apple cider vinegar?

At Archie, we are committed to offering a living, pure, and beneficial apple cider vinegar that respects your health and our land. Here's everything you need to know about its production and composition.

How Archie's Apple Cider Vinegar Is Made

Archie cider vinegar is handcrafted in Normandy , using apples from organic orchards . The production process follows a slow and controlled process:

1. Pressing and fermentation
   The apples are first pressed to obtain a raw, unfiltered cider. This cider is then fermented naturally for several weeks.

2. Double fermentation
   The first fermentation transforms the sugars in the apples into alcohol (cider), the second transforms the alcohol into acetic acid: this is when the cider becomes vinegar.

3. No heat treatment or filtration
   Archie's Apple Cider Vinegar is unpasteurized and unfiltered , to retain all the richness of enzymes, nutrients and good bacteria.

4. Local and committed packaging
   The vinegar is then bottled in a glass bottle made in France , by a Normandy company which supports people with disabilities .

The composition of Archie apple cider vinegar

Each bottle contains:

• The mother : This natural substance, visible at the bottom of the bottle, is a sign of life . It is made up of beneficial bacteria, minerals, enzymes and nutrients.

• Acetic acid : the active ingredient in vinegar, known to regulate blood sugar , aid digestion and help with weight loss .

• Natural prebiotics : which nourish the intestinal flora and support the microbiota.

• 20 varieties of apples : from the same Normandy terroir, for a complex taste and optimal nutritional richness .

• A living product : unfiltered, unpasteurized, organic, without additives or preservatives.

Why do we see “the mother” at the bottom of the bottle?

This slightly flaky material is the mother of vinegar . It forms naturally during fermentation.
This is a sign that your vinegar is alive , unprocessed, and full of beneficial microorganisms. It alone concentrates good bacteria, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals .

There's no need to filter it : on the contrary, it's precious. Gently shake your bottle before use if you want to distribute it.
