Raw apple cider vinegar has a devoted following and one famous drawback: the pucker. Wedderspoon Apple Cider Vinegar with Manuka Honey solves it elegantly, mellowing unfiltered ACV — complete with the mother — with the brand’s own genuine New Zealand manuka. The result is rounder, softer and far easier to make a daily habit.

Two well-loved ingredients, one bottle

The vinegar is raw and unpasteurised, cloudy with the strands of the mother that ACV enthusiasts insist upon. Into it goes authentic Wedderspoon manuka, the same traceable, Non-GMO Project verified honey found in the brand’s KFactor graded jars. No refined sugar, no syrupy shortcuts — just apples and honey doing what they do best.

Together they taste like orchard and hive shaking hands: sharp, fruity, then warmly sweet on the finish.

How households actually use it

Most customers keep it simple: a tablespoon stirred into a glass of cold or warm water in the morning. From there it earns its counter space in the kitchen proper.

• Whisked with olive oil and mustard for salad dressings
• Splashed into marinades for chicken or halloumi
• Stirred into slaws instead of plain vinegar
• Added to sparkling water with ice and mint
• Deglazing roasted vegetables for a sweet-sharp finish

Why choose apple cider vinegar with manuka honey

Plain ACV can be a chore to take neat, and pre-mixed drinks often lean on cheap sweeteners. Apple cider vinegar with manuka honey threads the needle: the honey is the sweetener, and it is a rather special one, bringing its own character rather than empty sweetness.

Wedderspoon has specialised in traceable New Zealand manuka since 2005, and this bottle carries the same sourcing discipline as the jars. The brand’s full story is on the official Wedderspoon website.

A few practical notes

Shake gently before use — the mother naturally settles, and the cloudiness is a feature, not a flaw. Store the bottle out of direct sunlight, and there is no need to refrigerate after opening, though some prefer it chilled in summer.

As with any vinegar, diluting it is kinder to teeth than sipping it neat, and a straw is a sensible extra step for daily drinkers.

Apple cider vinegar with manuka honey in Malta and Gozo

It slots naturally into an order alongside a jar of manuka or a bag of honey drops, and you will find the whole Wedderspoon family gathered in our supplements collection at Sattva. If your last bottle of plain ACV is gathering dust at the back of the cupboard, apple cider vinegar with manuka honey is the version that finally gets finished.

A note on taste, because it surprises people: this is much gentler than neat vinegar. The manuka honey rounds off apple cider vinegar’s sharp edges, so a morning measure diluted in a glass of cold water is closer to a tart apple cordial than a challenge to be endured. If you have tried plain ACV and abandoned it, apple cider vinegar with manuka honey is the version most likely to stick as a habit.

The bottle contains raw, unfiltered vinegar complete with the cloudy ‘mother’ culture – shake gently before pouring, as the sediment is the sign of an unpasteurised product, not a fault. Wedderspoon sweetens it with its own KFactor-graded manuka rather than syrup, keeping the ingredient list to exactly what you would hope. Store it in a cool cupboard; refrigeration after opening keeps it crisp. It also makes an excellent salad dressing base with olive oil, oregano and a pinch of Maltese sea salt.
