Coconut Vinegar

Coconut vinegar is  made from the  sap  of the coconut tree.  The sap is called Tuba.   Tuba is
collected  at  the  top of the coconut  tree and clips the  stem that contains flowers.  A  bamboo
is used as a collection vessel so the  sap will run into it.  Every day the farmer climbs to the top
of the coconut tree to collect the coconut sap of each coconut tree.

Coconut sap  when  naturally  fermented,  produces the product  coconut vinegar.   It contains
vitamins and minerals like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Potassium and Sodium.

The collected coconut sap is  allowed to ferment into a natural coconut vinegar.  Fermentation
takes  50-60 days. Unfiltered and unheated, it is then  bottled and sealed  fresh  to  protect  its
goodness. The color of the  vinegar changes as it ages, from cloudy white to  clear light brown
as it further matures.

As the coconut vinegar ages, sediments will appear at the  bottom and  eventually become the
"mother vinegar". They eventually thicken and float. This is a  natural  characteristic of  natural
coconut nectar vinegar and to savor its natural goodness, you have shake it well before use.
