*Kokonati organic coconut water vinegar is made from the coconut water leftover after breaking the coconut and using the kernel to press out coconut oil . The coconut water is aged in wooden vats with the naturally occurring mother vinegar from the coconut sap , for 6 to 12 months. The vinegar is then flash-pasteurized and bottled immediately. Wisp-like mother vinegar form once bottled, this is normal due to the unrefined nature of vinegar.
