What’s the Difference Between Raw ACV and Regular Apple Cider Vinegar?

Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, often labelled “with the mother,” retains the cloudy strands of protein, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria formed during fermentation; regular, clear commercial vinegar filters these out for a longer shelf life and a more consistent appearance. The “mother” is considered the more traditionally valued form, believed to carry more of the beneficial compounds from the fermentation process. Our Herbal Cider Elixir is made with raw, unfiltered ACV with the mother, for exactly this reason.
