Gordon Pure White Vinegar 5L is food-grade distilled vinegar at 5% acetic acid, and in most pro kitchens it ends up doing two jobs. One 5L jug covers pickling brine for a full case of cucumbers, a week of house vinaigrette, and enough diluted sanitizer to wipe down every prep surface at close. Canadian operators keep it on the shelf because the acidity holds steady jug to jug, which matters when you're building a pickling brine by ratio instead of by taste.
Gordon Pure White Vinegar 5L: bulk format for Canadian food service
Distilled white vinegar, nothing added, no colour, 5% acetic acid by volume. That's the food-grade standard for culinary work, and it's the same strength kitchens lean on for pickling, dressings, marinades, and descaling coffee makers and kettles. When your line cooks are mixing a 20:1 cleaning solution mid-shift, a vinegar that hits 5% every time means they don't have to second-guess the ratio.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Ships Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"We move a lot of this 5L jug to Calgary and Edmonton kitchens. One customer running a 300-seat pub goes through about 3 jugs a month, mostly pickling and cleaning solution. The 5% acetic acid is consistent jug to jug, which matters when you're mixing sanitizer by ratio. Stock at least 2 per location."
White vinegar is one of those items that seems simple until you've run a kitchen short on it. A catering company doing a 200-guest wedding needs it for marinades on chicken and pork, for dressing slaw, and for wiping down the service line between courses. A restaurant doing house pickles goes through it by the litre. If you're sourcing across a full menu, it's worth checking our food service range for the other staples that pair with it, like oils, spices, and cleaning supplies. The 5L format is sized for operators who don't want to restock every week, and it stacks flat in a dry storage room.
