Which oil goes with which vinegar? – Our expert tips!

Oil and vinegar are the dream team in the kitchen – but not every combination harmonizes perfectly. Which oil goes with which vinegar? As oil experts, we will show you how to complement our high-quality oils with the right vinegars and the basic principles to be observed when combining vinegar and oil.

 

Why is the right combination of oil and vinegar so important?

  • The balance is crucial: a strong oil needs equally expressive vinegar, while mild oils are better combined with gentle vinegars.
  • Regional harmony: Oils and vinegars from the same region often go particularly well together in terms of taste (e.g. olive oil and balsamic vinegar).
  • Perfect salad dressings & marinades: The right ratio of oil and vinegar enhances the flavor of salads, vegetables and even hot dishes.
