What Makes Lost in the Ozarks Persimmon Vinegar Special?
Unlike store-bought vinegar blends, our Persimmon Vinegar is made from whole, tree-ripened persimmons. It’s fermented slowly to preserve the fruit’s character, resulting in a beautifully balanced vinegar that feels as much at home in a dressing as it does in a cocktail. Every bottle reflects the flavors of fall and the integrity of handcrafted tradition.
