Vinegar – A Gourmet Experience with Aix&Terra Fig Vinegar
Among essential Mediterranean pantry staples, vinegar plays a key role in balancing flavours, enhancing sauces, and adding brightness to both savoury and sweet dishes. The Aix&Terra Fig Vinegar is a refined and original creation crafted by the chefs at the Aix&Terra restaurant in Provence, bringing a delicate fusion of sweetness and acidity to elevate everyday cooking into a gourmet experience. With its silky texture and aromatic profile, this fruit-based vinegar is ideal for anyone seeking a creative alternative to traditional wine vinegar or balsamic condiments.
A Unique Recipe Created in Provence
Made from 40% purple fig pulp, this vinegar captures the natural sweetness and floral intensity of ripe figs. Combined gently with spirit vinegar, cane sugar and natural pectin, it delivers a beautifully balanced flavour: bright acidity, subtle fruitiness, and a long, elegant finish. The figs are slowly processed to preserve their vibrant colour, fragrance and nutritional richness, resulting in a gourmet condiment that stands out both in taste and versatility.
Because of its fruit base, this fig vinegar complements a wide range of culinary applications and pairs beautifully with Mediterranean ingredients, soft cheeses and fresh herbs.

Drizzling over fresh figs, burrata or grilled peaches for a refined sweet-savory contrast
With just a few drops, it transforms a simple dish into something exceptional.
