What it is

Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes grown near the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. After fermentation, a portion of the wine is distilled to create a grape spirit, which is then added to the wine to fortify it. The wine is then aged in oak barrels.

Why it's used

Sherry wine is used as a flavoring ingredient in a variety of savory dishes, sauces, and soups. Its distinct nutty and slightly sweet flavor profile adds depth and complexity to recipes. It is also sometimes used in desserts and baked goods.

Health notes

Sherry wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring ingredient. As an alcoholic beverage, excessive consumption can lead to health risks associated with alcohol. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sherry wine, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Sherry wine is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
