Feijoa Vinegar

Feijoa vinegar is a tangy, aromatic vinegar made by fermenting the juice of feijoas (also known as pineapple guavas), a fruit native to South America but now widely grown in New Zealand. It typically includes feijoa pulp, water, and a sugar source like honey or cane sugar to facilitate fermentation. The result is a fruity, slightly floral vinegar with a complex flavor profile.
