We are pleased to announce:

George Paul Vinegars was named the US Producer of the Year at the 1st Annual USI International Vinegar Awards. Out of over 100 submissions, from more than 10 countries, our Emilia and Edelweiss were singled out for gold medals.

To celebrate, our Edelweiss is on sale through the end of the year! Be sure to add a bottle to your cart.

The ‘Vinegar Professor’ (Michael Harlan Turkell) wrote a nice feature on us as well: George Paul’s Cold-Hardy Vinegars From The Sandhills Of Nebraska

This year, Emily created this extra special card to use in all of our gift orders. Many winter mornings, George finds deer in the yard, sometimes snacking from our apple trees. Taking this as inspiration, Emily drew a beautiful illustration of our apple tree and letterpress printed it on her antique machinery. We love how it turned out and are excited to share it with all of your gift recipients this year! Just leave a note in the ‘Additional Information’ section at checkout with your gift message and we will include a handwritten note with your order. These cards are also available for purchase.

Wonderful feature of GPV and our Emily in the June/July issue of Country Woman magazine. Emily talks about her print work and her vinegar work and how they both require a bit of “Art, Science and Patience”. (Click the title above to view the article.)

The most recent issue of Saveur magazine had a nice feature about George and our vinegars.

Nice feature in the Omaha World-Herald about our partnership with dpHue.

Pohlad said that of all the vinegars tested by her company, the Nebraska vinegar had the best color, flavor and apple fragrance. She said she appreciated that Johnson had a family business (his daughter Emily is the company “taster” and printer of its labels) like her own, and that his vinegar was handcrafted in an ages-old process, and not mass-produced in a couple of days.

“I really care a lot about what goes into our products,” Pohlad said. “I didn’t realize what an art it is to create vinegar until I found George.”

A couple of great videos produced by dpHue about GPV and their favorite ingredient: our Apple Cider Vinegar!

Our Emilia American Balsamic was featured as one of the best gifts under $40 by Food & Wine Magazine in 2011. Of course, nowadays it costs a little over $40 actually ;-)

One of our most surprising (and fantastic) new customers is dp HUE - a Minneapolis-based company making innovative super-luxe products for your hair. They recently developed a new Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinse, and after testing every ACV on the market, determined that ours was by far the best option for their product. They love how the aroma of apples comes through to the final product and it has the perfect pH for their blend. Founder Donna Pohlad and her team visited us recently to see where their favorite ingredient is made. We had a fun day shooting video and chatting about our process. After using their ACV rinse (and other products) for several months, we are seriously impressed and proud to contribute to such a great product. Plus, our hair has never looked better!

Check out the March/April edition of Nebraska Life for a great feature article about our family business. 

We really enjoyed meeting the writer, Summer Miller, and her family when they came to visit and see our vinegary. 

And the photographer, Alan Bartels, took some really wonderful photos.
