'Hyo' Ginkgo Vinegar Aged 5 Years
Hanega
Hanega’s flagship vinegar combines ginkgo from the family orchard with 14 other herbs, fruits, grains and roots. Naturally fermented and aged for at least five years, it balances herbal notes with a hint of orange.
With a deep knowledge of Asian medicine passed down through multiple generations, family-owned Hanega has been making vinegars using traditional brewing and fermentation methods for over a century. After decades producing vinegar for Eastern medical clinics, Hanega vinegars only became commercially available in 2008. Hanega vinegars are produced at the foot of Manisan mountain on Ganghwa island, near the Yellow Sea. Local natural water is combined with the highest quality ingredients, grown in-house or sourced from specific regions in Korea, and brewed once each summer during the three hottest days of the year. Three different types of rice are mixed with yeast in onggi earthenware urns, where they are cleaned and stirred daily over the next several years.
