Sherry vinegar
Sherry vinegar is high in Histamine. It has low levels of Tyramine and Salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Vinegar is fermented twice — first to alcohol, then to acetic acid — and bacteria build histamine at both stages. Ageing in wood adds more, so balsamic and sherry vinegar sit at the top. A splash in a dressing is a small volume, but it is concentrated: this is one of the most overlooked triggers.
