Our vinegar is distinguished by the following aspects:

Its composition:

Our Archie Apple Cider Vinegar contains the “mother” of vinegar. The transformation of cider into vinegar creates the “mother” which forms naturally in the bottle. It contains a concentration of good bacteria, nutrients, minerals and vitamins. This is an indicator that our product is alive, pure, and full of benefits for the body. Unlike industrial vinegars, our vinegar is neither filtered nor pasteurized. In contrast, classic vinegars can be deprived of the "mother", filtered, and subjected to pasteurization.

Its origins and diversity:

Our vinegar comes mainly from tall apple trees with more than 20 varieties of carefully selected apples and comes from organic farming.

Its manufacturing process :

Apple cider vinegar undergoes a double fermentation process. The processing time of our cider vinegar is longer, which reinforces its unique qualities.

In comparison, traditional vinegars often undergo a simplification of their process.

We do not add sulfites during the production of Archie Apple Cider Vinegar.

Archie Apple Cider Vinegar is a raw product that contains the mother of vinegar. It is designed to be consumed daily, up to three times a day. To take it, simply mix one tablespoon in a large glass of water. It provides significant benefits for digestion and blood sugar regulation. Extensive research has shown that a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before a meal can reduce the glycemic impact of that meal by 30%. This reduction is due to the acetic acid found in vinegar, which works by regulating blood sugar and insulin, while hindering the conversion of sugars to triglycerides and the formation of new fat cells.

Archie Honey Cider Vinegar is the result of a careful fusion of high quality cider vinegar and organic honey from Malescot bee hives, nestled in the French mountains. This combination aims to strengthen your immune system while preserving the benefits of apple cider vinegar. It has a milder taste than our raw vinegar. In fact, honey softens the acidity of the vinegar, making it more pleasant to drink for those who find raw vinegar a little strong.

On the other hand, the detox treatment is composed of Archie cider vinegar enhanced with spices such as ginger, juniper berries, allspice, cardamom, bird's eye pepper and lemon. This maceration gives it a unique spicy flavor.
