Sherry Vinegar
There are just a few less than a zillion sherry vinegars out there in the world. We only have two. Well, actually we have four now. And they all are special, worth having and each have chefs who swear by only one!
What’s so very special about these two aged (10 and 12 years) sherry vinegars is that they start with Alvear’s award winning sweet and dry wines of Montilla.
These 100% Pedro Ximenez Sherries bring the amazing flavor profile over as they transition into vinegar!
So many sherry vinegars are sharp, and can barely carry more than one note. These two, dry and sweet, are very special, complex, each with many flavor notes that are more akin to a fine wine than a typical harsh vinegar.
With careful sampling you can taste the wood of the aging barrels and the fruitiness of the grape that makes these sherry vinegars very, very special.
The dry, aged 12 years, has so much aroma punch it puckers your inner nose and soul. You can taste the wood in the finish, almost like a caramel flavor. A sharpness and an edge to the flavor receptors clearly defines lines, but not so painful that it isn't pleasant and rewarding.
The sweet to the nose is, well, sweet. It too has some distinct notes, well defined but not quite as aggressive; a more rounded edge. The sweet sings too, but perhaps a little less complex, leaving you with a smooth feeling.
These sherry vinegars are at the top of the food pyramid. Think a simple Kefta Rub with the dry sherry for a beef or pork grill. The sweet would go well in a fruit cherry compote, a little acidity would make it sing!

Sweet & Smokey
This mustard is BBQ heaven!
Grilling is "hot and fast." Barbecue is "low and slow”
Grilling is high heat (flames) directly on the food and BBQ is indirect and most often smoky.
BBQ can take a day to cook a nice piece of protein. The results are often splendiferous. Unfortunately, waking up and being ready to fire up the grill Sunday morning and cook takes some serious planning the day before.
Grilling, not less a process, can be much faster, and with joyous results. Perhaps the best part of grilling is that the protein is a wonderful platform for your favorite add-ons.
Think Boat Street Pickled Cherries, for instance. Perfect for classic cheeses or a perfect pork chop, just one cherry per bite with a Kielbasa and it’s like heaven.
That’s where Kozlik’s Sweet & Smoky Mustard comes in. All wrapped up in one swipe of a knife or a giant spoon, mustard heat, sweet honey and the smoky essence on a beef weiner. Or top a flattened chicken, mixed in with breadcrumbs and bake or grill for a simple, short, “BBQ” grilling!
