Tartaric Acid
Tartaric acid is a white crystalline organic compound which occurs naturally in many plants and is one of the main acids found in wine. Grapes are a significant natural source of tartaric acid and the balance of tartaric (& malic) acid in a finished wine play an important role in defining a wines character. Too much acid produces a harsh tasting wine while too low a level gives a “flat” wine. Tartaric acid also allows a wine to effectively age as it acts as a preservative.
Cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate) is obtained when tartaric acid is half neutralized with potassium hydroxide, transforming it into a salt.
In the kitchen Tartaric acid may be utilised as a “sour seasoning”(& preservative) in cordials\syrups, as an addition to accentuate flavour in sourdoughs or, as below, a thickening acidulant for cheese:
