Best Malt Vinegars of 2025

"This reminds me of my childhood at carnivals, especially on my fries."

"I love using this on my fish; it's delicious!"

"As a fan of English-style fish and chips, this product delivers authentic taste and quality."

“I had never tried malt vinegar before, but after seeing it used in a sitcom from Ireland, I decided to give it a shot. I cooked some flounder and thick steak fries, splashing malt vinegar all over, and it was fantastic! It's vinegar-y without being overpowering, and the malt flavor is a great complement. I suggest trying it on a fry first. I love mustard and mayo on fries, but now malt vinegar is definitely on my list of favorites! The bottle is a nice size, and surprisingly, even with generous splashing, we didn't use much at all. The spout only lets out a little at a time, making it easy to control. I'm excited to use it again!”

“In my experience, Heinz Gourmet Malt Vinegar makes food taste even better without breaking the bank! I have GERD, so I add vinegar to my meals to help with my condition. Aside from that, I genuinely enjoy the taste of vinegar, and this particular brand adds a delightful kick to my roasted potatoes, fries, and fish. My first encounter was during a trip to London, and I found it delicious even before I had any health issues!”

“I absolutely love malt vinegar on fish! I searched everywhere, but no local stores had it. I was so relieved to find it on Amazon!”

"I'm absolutely delighted with Sarson's Malt Vinegar! As a culinary enthusiast, I've tried many vinegars, but Sarson's stands out with its distinctively tangy flavor. It elevates dishes like fish and chips and homemade pickles, delivering a perfect, sharp kick. The rich flavor profile enhances taste and aroma, making it my go-to choice. Five stars!"

"I love the genuine flavor of Sarson's Malt Vinegar. A local English-style pub serves it with their excellent fish and chips, so when I found it on Amazon, I didn't hesitate to buy. Highly recommend!"

"This is definitely the recommended malt vinegar for fish and chips. I say just buy it; it's great!"

"I’m thrilled I chose this brand. Despite my initial hesitation due to a review about dilution, my bottle is perfect in every way. The flavor is unmatched; I’d even say it’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I will definitely buy more as I run out. Keep up the great work!"

"I use this malt vinegar for pickling, and at 5%, it tastes really good!"

"The quality is very good, with no preservatives, simple ingredients, and fantastic flavor. It’s a great price too, and has a more potent flavor than Heinz."

“In my experience, this is the best malt vinegar I've tried. I could almost drink it! It enhances thicker fries and is perfect on fish. It really cuts through the grease of fried foods, making it versatile. I believe Sarsons is the top choice for quality, and I happily order it from Amazon since it’s hard to find locally.”

“I didn't plan to get emotional about this, but I must say that this product has truly exceeded my expectations. I'm extremely grateful for it and would definitely purchase it again!”

“I’ve been using this for a couple of months now. It's taken a while to arrive, but I can confidently say it’s the best malt vinegar I’ve ever had. The first time I tried it was in England, and since then, I won’t consider any other brand.”

"I discovered these vinegar packets at a restaurant a few years ago and was amazed by the flavor. They add a delightful tang to my salads, fries, and vegetables. I love that they come in small packets for easy carrying!"

"I didn’t recognize the box until I opened it with a box cutter—definitely a bad move! However, aside from my clumsiness, the product itself is fantastic. I take these packets everywhere since many places don’t offer vinegar for my fries."

"I incorporate one packet into my water each day to help kickstart my system. It’s become part of my morning routine!"

"I was thrilled to find a large malt vinegar for my pickled onions!"

"Heinz may not be a fancy brand, but this malt vinegar is unbeatable for the price, especially in a one-gallon size."

"I love using this in my kitchen; it's delicious on fish and makes great salad dressings!"

"I had no idea what I was missing! This is the best fish n chip malt vinegar I've ever tried. It's smooth, not tart, and incredibly flavorful. Although it costs a bit more, it lasts a long time. Thank you, Sarsons, for getting it right!"

"I was really pleased with how securely the product was shipped. The glass bottles were tightly bubble-wrapped, and there were no issues with breaking or leaking. I love the classic Sarson's taste!"

"I hate to admit it, but I think I might prefer the plastic bottles. These glass bottles leaked during shipment, and while the taste is fine, I wish it had a slightly less acidic flavor. I guess traditional British vinegar comes at a price!"

"I bought this malt vinegar powder as a Christmas gift after seeing a chef use it on fried potatoes. If a chef uses this, it’s gotta be a good idea!"

"I was initially surprised by its sweetness, but I really enjoy the flavor! Just handle it more like cornstarch than a spice mix. I’ve been using it to enhance ketchup, and it works wonderfully!"

"As someone who loves experimenting with spices, this malt vinegar powder was a must-try for me. It adds a delightful zing to popcorn and cucumbers, making boring foods much more exciting."

"I love how this powder enhances the flavor in whatever I use it on. I've added it to beans and soups, and it works perfectly in my dry rub for meat. Tastes fantastic!"

"In my experience, the taste is somewhat similar when rehydrated, but overall, the flavor is just okay."

"I received my order with the safety seal broken and the lid partly off. This is simply unacceptable! I would give it zero stars if possible, and I can't get a refund or return. I strongly recommend not buying this."
