Brilliant little company
Brilliant little company! The balsamic vinegar that we ordered is divine. We were recommended to try Demijohn at the Good food show by our laithwaites tasting teacher- and what a recommendation it was! The staff at the show were knowledgeable and friendly and so very helpful. We bought 2 vinegars and some of the alcohol too. It is beautifully presented in high quality bottles and I have them displayed out on my kitchen worktop as they are so lovely. Will definitely order from Demijohn again and I have recommended them to all my family and friends.
