Slide Ridge Honey Wine Vinegar Recommended by Whom You Know!
I don’t get too fancy with salad dressings… simple oil and vinegar is all I look for most days. That being said, I’m always game to try a new vinegar to mix in with my olive oil! Slide Ridge’s Honey Wine Vinegar is fantastic! I used it on a simple mixed greens and tomato salad, mixed with olive oil and sea salt. It was a perfect salad dressing – light and full of zest, perfectly highlighting the greens! I can’t wait to see what else it’s great on!

If you've never tried a vinegar cure, this is the product to start with. The happy bees at Slideridge give up their honey so we may be happy. Their Honey Wine Vinegar is perfect in a glass of water (I like it in seltzer) 3 times per day, before a meal. One year, for months my father-in-law had his house filled with different kinds of vinegars he made every year. He got us used to the idea of drinking vinegar in our water as a cleanse, and as a health restorative. You can read on the Slide Ridge website about studies that have been done, and with a bottle of their Honey Wine Vinegar on the shelf you'll feel healthier just having it on hand. Gift idea for my father-in-law? You bet! And it's marvelous on a salad, too. I can't wait to try it with beets and feta cheese.

Martin James began his beekeeping dreams at the age of 8 when he asked to attend a class at the local university (USU). He was too young, but the following year, he persuaded his mother to enroll and the professor allowed Martin to come along with her. His fascination for bees has never waned.
About a dozen years ago, Martin along with his sister Karla decided to get serious about beekeeping with a desire to make his passion his profession. Martin had already built a successful floor covering business, but decided it was time to follow his boyhood dreams. Since that time, Slide Ridge has grown from a few beehives to thousands of beehives and millions of bees. The operation now employs not only Martin, but his brother, two sisters, and other full and part-time staff. His parents have contributed their expertise from the beginning and continue to bring meaningful experience and service to the company.
After a few years of pollination and honey sales, Martin decided it was time to create a new, unique product, using the honey from his bees. The goal was to diversify the company and provide better revenue from derivative honey products. We’re beekeepers, and to us, honey is art, sunshine, captured in a jar. But we weren’t satisfied with beautiful honey; we wanted to make something different, something no one else was doing, something amazing! So, we decided to use our beautiful honey to make vinegar, from scratch, without any prior knowledge of how to do it.
It took seven years to understand and perfect the process: seven years of patience, seven years of setbacks, seven years of progress, until finally, we had the perfect vinegar, the perfect flavor. The end result was a sweet Honey Wine Vinegar unlike anything we have ever tasted. It retains the sweetness of the honey and radiates the strength and beauty of the sunshine that is its ultimate source. Hand crafted and tended through a custom 18 month process, we bottle the essential joy of the sun!
So began the family’s journey in the gourmet food industry. The company continues to innovate, based on the family’s boundless energy and creativity with additional vinegar flavors, a line of marinades, and other new ideas and products currently in development.
Our unique vinegar products are hand crafted from 100% pure, raw, unfiltered Utah wildflower honey, straight from the bee to the bottle. The end result is an unforgettable flavor that is smooth enough to enjoy by itself, but strong enough to liven up your favorite dishes, from meats to salads to deserts.
Slide Ridge products are all-natural products using all-natural methods and ingredients. We don't use pesticides or other artificial chemicals in the maintenance of our hives and bees. Our methods are natural and progressive, and we offer our understanding and knowledge freely to other beekeepers. The process of pollination is the essence of sustainable agriculture. Our bees pollinate commercial crops in the spring and summer wildflowers during the honey flow, improving the farmer's yield as well as the quality and strength of the open range lands. Our honey is never filtered or homogenized. It is extracted and bottled in recyclable glass jars that can also be reused as canning jars for those who preserve their own produce. We use no artificial colors or preservatives in our honey or our vinegars, maintaining the inherent beauty and flavor of a natural product.
Our Honey Wine Vinegar is great as a simple yet flavorful low-calorie dressing, but it also makes a great ingredient for dressings, marinades, glazes, sauces, desserts, and much more! It livens up any table and pairs very well with fruits and vegetables, meats and fish, specialty cheeses, and even desserts. The flavor is bright and sweet, but not overpowering, making a perfect ingredient for just about any dish.
Martin’s Green Chili is our first marinade; it is a southwest flavor using our Harvest Apple honey vinegar, green chilies and garlic. We carefully source all our ingredients, using local or regional producers and individual farms. The results are incredible flavors that are delicious, healthy, and just plain fun to use.
