Clear, pale yellow colour (any sediments are proof of genuineness) Fresh, vinegary fragrance. Winy taste. Cooking and serving: Ideal not only as an alternative for lemon for making sauces such as mayonnaise but also for poaching fish, for marinating meat and offal, for marinating fish to be served raw, and for cooking and conserving vegetables. Not to mention for dressing vegetables and seafood, octopus and crustacean salads.
