The People Behind Our Ingredients
Every VAN T's speciality begins long before it reaches our workshop. It begins with the people who raise our livestock, cultivate our herbs, blend our spices and care for the land where every ingredient originates.
Across Austria, Italy and South Africa, we work with carefully selected farmers, producers and artisans who share our values. Respect for nature, traditional craftsmanship and uncompromising quality form the foundation of every partnership.
Each ingredient has its own origin, and every origin tells a story. This is our way of introducing the people behind the products that help shape every VAN T's speciality.

Simona Pahontu &
Mauro Meneghetti
Acetaia Pahontu is located in the Euganean Hills of northern Italy, where artisanal wine vinegars are crafted from carefully selected organic and biodynamic wines. Using the traditional static surface fermentation method in glass, every vinegar matures slowly for at least six months, developing remarkable balance, elegance and complexity.
Today, Pahontu produces premium wine vinegars from varieties such as Pinot Nero, Moscato and Prosecco. Their commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and exceptional quality was recognised with the Gold Award at the international "Le Forme dell'Aceto 2021" competition for packaging and design.
For our VAN T's products, we use their Pinot Nero wine vinegar, whose vibrant fruit character and delicate acidity perfectly complement our handcrafted specialities.
Crafted by Time
Great vinegar cannot be rushed. At Pahontu, carefully selected wines are transformed through slow, natural acetification using the traditional static surface fermentation method. Time, patience and respect for the raw material create vinegars with remarkable elegance, freshness and character.
