Coconut vinegar is a product that can be produced from coconut sap or coconut water. Coconut trees are grown in rich volcanic soil, contributing to the sap’s nutritional composition.

During the processing, coconut water or coconut sap/toddy is naturally fermented in which nutrient losses are minimum.
