What Is Calamansi?
Calamansi is an aromatic citrus associated with Filipino and Southeast Asian cuisine. Its flavor is intensely tart and fragrant, with characteristics that can recall lime or lemon alongside sweeter mandarin and kumquat notes. That combination makes calamansi vinegar useful when a dish needs acidity plus a fresh citrus character.
Does This Vinegar Contain Lemon?
No lemon is listed in the ingredient statement. The bottle lists calamansi juice 40%, spirit vinegar and cane sugar. Older product names and retailer descriptions may use the word “lemon” because calamansi has lemon- and lime-like acidity and can be used in many dishes where lemon or lime would normally add brightness.
What Does Calamansi Vinegar Taste Like?
Expect a sweet-tart, highly aromatic citrus profile: sharp acidity with lime- and lemon-like brightness, balanced by more fragrant mandarin- and kumquat-like notes.
How Should It Be Stored?
Refrigerate after opening, according to the U.S. product label.
