There's apple cider vinegar... and then there's apple cider vinegar. And at Archie, we're on a mission: to bring artisanal, French apple cider vinegar back into the spotlight, in its rawest, purest, and most effective form. In this article, we'll explain what makes our Archie apple cider vinegar so unique, and why it's better to invest in a good bottle rather than filling your cupboards with pale imitations.
Apple cider vinegar, a natural everyday ally
It's the big star of the moment, and you've seen it everywhere: TikTok, TV shows, wellness magazines. Apple cider vinegar is a superfood that's increasingly finding its way into wellness routines for its many benefits:
- Reduction of blood sugar after meals
- Improved digestion
- Strengthening of intestinal flora
- Detox effect and natural boost
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. When used regularly, apple cider vinegar can also help balance appetite, support immunity, improve skin condition, and regulate energy throughout the day. A small daily step for a wellness revolution inside and out.
The condition for all its benefits? Its quality.
Apple cider vinegar can therefore truly be a miracle drink provided that it is of very good quality.
These are two fundamental elements that make the difference:
- A high concentration of acetic acid , the active ingredient responsible for many metabolic effects.
- An unfiltered and unpasteurized product , rich in nutrients and prebiotics.
Beware of industrial cider vinegars
The apple cider vinegar craze has prompted many brands to jump on the bandwagon. As a result, there are many products available in supermarkets and on the market, but not all are equal.
Although some prices may seem attractive, most vinegars available in supermarkets are:
- Pasteurized (therefore biologically “dead” and devoid of life)
- Filtered (deprived of all their nutritional richness)
- Made from poor quality apples and non-organic farming
- Mass-produced abroad then imported into France
Beware of false friends: poor quality cider vinegar can even have adverse effects, particularly on the stomach or tooth enamel, due to poorly controlled acidity.
At Archie , we take the opposite approach. Our artisanal cider vinegar is made in Normandy, France, from organic apples, respecting ancestral know-how. That's the real difference.
