Apothicari Fire Vinegar is an unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar in which herbs and spices such as ginger, turmeric, garlic, onion, horseradish, cayenne pepper, and a blend of garden herbs are macerated for several weeks. It is an artisanal product, with most of the ingredients grown on our organic farm, Les Jardins de la Minga, in Baie-St-Paul in Charlevoix. We call it "Culinary Tonic" because it is a concentrate of exquisite and versatile flavors that can be added to salad dressings, marinades, sauces, soups, mayonnaise, croutons, Bloody Caesars, etc.
In addition to our fields and tunnels, our two electrically heated greenhouses allow us to grow all the ingredients used in Apothicari Fire Vinegar right here on the farm, from common ones like garlic and onions to more exotic ones like ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass. When the season does not allow for a harvest that follows our production of Vinaigre de Feu, Quebec organic producers are always prioritized, because at Apothicari, as at Les Jardins de la Minga, concern for the environment and quality are important values to us. That's why it's so important for us to offer a product made with organic, local ingredients whose quality gives Apothicari's Vinaigre de Feu its unique taste.
Apothicari Fire Vinegar is a recipe inspired by fire cider, a remedy created by herbalist Rosemary Gladstar in the late 1970s. Since each ingredient is known for its health benefits, it was used as an immune booster for the whole family. I made it for my friends and family for a long time, but it wasn't until 2022 that we decided to refine the recipe to make it a culinary tonic. It has the same ingredients and the same benefits, but the unique flavor of the recipe makes it very versatile in the kitchen.
