You've seen it everywhere: apple cider vinegar has become a favorite among wellness enthusiasts. But when it comes to choosing one, it's all very confusing. Filtered, unfiltered, organic, with or without mother... It's hard to know where to start! Don't panic, Archie! We'll break down the subject for you. In this article, we'll help you understand what distinguishes a good vinegar and the important criteria for choosing it wisely.
Why is apple cider vinegar so popular?
Formerly used as old wives' remedy Whether used as a simple seasoning or simply as a dressing, apple cider vinegar is renowned for its role in a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. It's an essential for those seeking simple and natural everyday habits.
Are all cider vinegars created equal?
Spoiler alert: no!
Behind the label "cider vinegar," the quality can vary drastically. Some industrial products are pasteurized, filtered, or even stripped of the "mother," that precious cloud that floats in your bottles, rich in enzymes and natural probiotics.
To fully enjoy its benefits, it's best to choose an artisanal, organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized vinegar with a mother of vinegar. Follow the guide!

How to choose the right apple cider vinegar? Criteria to consider:
1. Opt for organic apple cider vinegar ✔️
Good vinegar starts with… good apples! Choose a vinegar made from organic apples, without pesticides or chemicals. This guarantees not only better nutritional quality, but also a more authentic taste.
At Archie 's We use apples from organic orchards in Normandy. The cows graze in the shade of the apple trees, helping to maintain the orchards and enrich the soil naturally.
2. Choose an unfiltered and unpasteurized vinegar ✔️
Industrial processing destroys all the richness of vinegar. To preserve all its benefits, opt for the most natural product possible: unfiltered, unpasteurized, with its natural sediment and intact mother of vinegar.
3. Check for the presence of "the mother" ✔️
The "mother" of vinegar is that cloudy film you see floating in the best bottles. It's a sign that your vinegar is alive and teeming with beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients. It's removed during filtration and pasteurization, so if your vinegar is as clear as water, look elsewhere!
4. Pay attention to the origin ✔️
Vinegar made in France is often a guarantee of quality. It ensures a certain level of artisanal expertise and more reliable traceability of raw materials. Choosing cider vinegar produced in France also means supporting local cider farming. We proudly collaborate with passionate farmers in Normandy.
