Pedro Ximenez Paez Morilla Jerez Vinegar Reserva

Pedro Ximenez Paez Morilla Vinagre de Jerez Reserva is a shining example of Spain’s culinary heritage, crafted in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, in the sun-drenched region of Andalucía. This distinguished sherry vinegar is born from the marriage of Palomino Fino sherry vinegar and Pedro Ximenez wine, aged for over three years in American oak barrels previously used to mature Pedro Ximenez itself. The resulting vinegary elixir boasts a beautiful balance between pronounced sweet notes and zesty acidity, striking all the right chords for those seeking an elevated ingredient for their kitchen.​

Produced by the esteemed Bodegas Páez Morilla, this Jerez vinegar holds the reputable D.O.P. Vinagre de Jerez designation, assuring authenticity and regional quality. Its deep, ebony hue hints at the lush, complex aromas inside. Expect a nose full of dried fruit and hints of coffee, caramel, and wood, with a palate that seamlessly blends sweetness, floral undertones, and mellow acidity. The vinegar’s 6% free acidity is ideal for imparting brightness to dishes without overpowering subtle flavours.​

Health-conscious cooks will appreciate the natural fermentation and aging process of this sherry vinegar. As it contains no added sugars or artificial preservatives, and with its rich array of antioxidants and beneficial organic acids, it is an excellent addition for those seeking to enhance flavour while keeping dishes light and digestible.

Bodegas Páez Morilla enjoys national recognition, earning acclaim such as the Empresa-Familia award for best regional family business, and is routinely highlighted in both local and international gourmet guides for its dedication to traditional methods and consistent excellence. The Pedro Ximenez Paez Morilla Jerez Vinegar Reserva, in particular, has garnered praise in culinary circles for its depth, balance, and versatility.​

Serving suggestions are nearly endless. Add a splash to tomato and mozzarella salads or shaved fennel and orange. Finish pan-seared duck or lamb chops with a drizzle to add brightness and complexity.

How the Spanish Enjoy Pedro Ximenez Paez Morilla Vinagre de Jerez Reserva

Throughout Spain, sherry vinegars like this one are indispensable in both rustic family kitchens and the country’s finest restaurants. Spaniards use it to add character to gazpacho and salmorejo, iconic chilled soups from Andalucía.

Many chefs finish rich stews or roasted meats with a dash of this vinegar for brightness. Some drizzle it over queso manchego (aged sheep’s cheese) or over ripe tomatoes with a few flakes of sea salt. For a sweet twist, it is occasionally used to macerate strawberries, offering a delightful contrast between the fruit’s natural sugars and the vinegar’s bittersweet depth. This reserve vinegar is a celebration of Spanish tradition, elevating both everyday fare and special occasion dishes with its unique character and complexity.
