Its forest is the Orne, its raw material the annual shoots of Douglas fir harvested there. Le Paulmier macerates them in barrels in an artisanal cider vinegar so they release their full aromatic range, and the resulting Fir Vinegar is marked by pronounced, persistent citrus notes that range from lemon to lemongrass. A few drops brighten oysters, a ceviche, or smoked fish; it also makes a fine marinade for venison or duck.

The Maker

Apples ripen, fall, and ferment, and in Normandy, time turns the orchard into vinegar. Le Paulmier is an artisan vinegar house in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, in Normandy, devoted to the richness of its local terroir. The house works with carefully selected natural ingredients such as cider apples, pears, and wild botanical plants, and relies on traditional fermentation. Its creations are aged in oak or acacia barrels to develop complex, refined flavors. The range includes cider vinegars, apple balsamic vinegars, and gourmet condiments, in which craftsmanship, innovation, and respect for nature express the authentic flavors of Normandy.
