About

This project aims to develop a sustainable vinegar production system that relies solely on local and circular raw materials.

The vinegar is produced from:

  • Brewery residues (by-products from beer production that would otherwise be discarded).

  • Downgraded cider and wine.

  • Downgraded barley.

This initiative helps reduce food waste, repurpose agro-industrial by-products, and promote a local and circular economy.
