Artisan Vinegar was founded in 2011 by Executive Chef Bernd Lippmann. Bernd wanted to showcase and use unique New Zealand produce and transform them into outstanding artisan products, which reflect a taste of New Zealand.
The tasty vinegar ride started with Kawakawa, Tamarillo and Feijoa. The range grew with Chutneys, Jams and Mustards. New items are periodically added to the range.
In 2017 Artisan Vinegar and Shirley's Kitchen merged which further extended the range with outstanding and delicious items.
