About the Producer

The Jose Paez Lobato family have been producing the finest sherry vinegar from their ‘Bodega’ (cellar) in the Jerez region of Andalucia in Spain since 1933, when Francisco Páez Sánchez started local wine activities. Francisco’s son, Antonio Páez Lobato, grew up working in the family despacho de vinos (wine shop) named “Los Palitos“. He went on to revolutionize local gastronomy by making Sherry Vinegar a major commercial product. The family then established extensive operations utilizing old American oak casks previously used for wine, giving their vinegars unique, complex profiles. Their vinegars achieved renown and became core members registered under the Protected Designation of Origin (Denominación de Origen) for Vinagre de Jerez, utilizing Palomino and Pedro Ximénez grapes.
