From the rice fields of the Camargue to a barrel scented with verbena. Le Paulmier makes this artisanal Rice & Verbena Vinegar through the alcoholic and acetic fermentation of Camargue rice, acetifies it in wood, then macerates it in barrels with verbena, which lends it citrus and peppery notes. Rich and complex, unpasteurized and without added sulfites, it is a distinctive condiment. Add a few drops to oysters or a scallop carpaccio, or to a delicate vinaigrette for cucumber and fennel.

Scallop Carpaccio with Verbena Vinegar

Serves 4 · 15 min + 15 min freezing

Place 8 very fresh sea scallops in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm them up.
Slice them into thin rounds and arrange them on 4 chilled plates.
Whisk 1 tbsp of the rice and verbena vinegar with 3 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel.
Spoon the dressing over the scallops, add a little lime zest and a few chives, and serve right away.

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.
