But it all started in 1956 when André Vandererfven, the father of the current owner Thierry Vandererfven, took over a small gourmet shop from the late 19th century in the West Flemish city of Kortrijk. What made the company successful was that Mr. Vandererfven not only traded in goods bought from other producers but also started making jams and marmalades himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1990, his son Thierry has been very successfully expanding the homemade production under the label Belberry – Royal Selection – so that the fruity products, such as jams, marmalades, fruit sauces, ketchups, and vinegars, can now be found in delicatessens all over the world. With a selection of citrus marmalades that Queen Paola loves so much, Belberry has become a purveyor to the Belgian Royal Family. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBelberry - Belgian Fruit Vinegars and Dressings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock Belberry's unique Belgian fruit vinegars with fruit pulp, such as Sweet Raspberry Vinegar, Cameroon Mango, Calamansi Citrus, and Japanese Yuzu Vinegar, Moroccan preserved lemons, and Real French Dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"belberry-kalamansi-citrus-vinegar-essig","title":"Calamansi Citrus Vinegar - Vinegar","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eKalamansi Vinegar from Belberry's Royal Selection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eKalamansi Citrus Vinegar is a Belgian fruit vinegar made with the juice of the Philippine Kalamansi — a cross between a mandarin and a kumquat.

It is harvested almost all year round; the fruit is picked green, then ripens on the tree to a delicate orange peel.

Yuzu contains only about two-thirds of the acidity of a lemon, and one kilogram of fruit yields only about 100 ml of juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the Japanese Yuzu Vinegar is clear and vibrant, with a subtle bitter trace that enhances its aperitif character.

Although their use in chicken or fish dishes is most obvious, Moroccan salted lemons also go well with lamb dishes or beef goulash, with couscous or lentils, or as a dip with crème fraîche, sesame, and mint. Since salted lemons contain enough salt, you can salt your dishes sparingly. Sometimes salting even becomes unnecessary.
