Cane Vinegar

Vinegar is obtained by fermenting vegetable sugars into alcohol and then bringing them into contact with oxygen and bacteria. This process creates an acetic acid. This can have a strength of 4 to 15%. Vinegar can be made from various fruits, grains, vegetables.

Sugarcane vinegar is made from the natural molecules from the sugar cane plant. This can result in an amber colored vinegar. The vinegar from sugar cane has a mild and malty taste. The vinegar is no sweeter than other vinegars.

Sugarcane vinegar is obtained by carefully collecting the sugar cane. The sugar cane has to be peeled to release the sugars. The fresh stems are crushed so that the juices can flow out and be collected. The liquid is boiled and a thick syrup with a high sugar content is formed. This liquid undergoes a dual fermentation which converts the sugar first into alcohol and then into acetic acid. Depending on the strength, it is then mixed with water. In the Philippines, sugar cane vinegar is best known as "sukang iloko" and is used for many different recipes in Filipino cuisine.
