PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Vinegar is an important condiment and preservative which is produced through the action of
acetic acid bacteria on dilute solutions of ethyl alcohol derived from a previous yeast
fermentation in sugar solution or fruit juice. It may also be produced from fermented agar, fruit
juices or other fermented alkali solutions derived from barley malt, hydrolyzed cereals and
starches or other carbohydrates. It contains about 4 to 5% acetic acid, colouring matter, salts and
few other fermented products which impart characteristic flavour and aroma to it. Vinegar is
used in food processing industries such as sauce, pickle etc. Thus vinegar has its uses both in
urban households as well as industries, hotels and restaurants. Low in acidity, with a musty
flavor and a unique aftertaste. It is used in many Thai dishes.
Executive Summary
Sirberet original and only Sirberet House was established in the Marikina City. This Artisanal
Sirberet House is located in no. 19 ilaw St. Donya Petra, Marikina City.

It was founded by Ma. Colene Reyes: the current owner-operator and chief Sirberet maker and
her husband Mark Justin Aldave was first a chemist & hobby Sirberet maker, who then honed
his Sirberet making skills at the vinegar. The initial investments to create this Sirberet House
came from his personal savings, family investments, contributions from membership fees & from
crowd funding through Dresden Durchstarter / Startnext.

Our Sirberet are hand-pressed and hand-crafted in small batches using organic fruit and 100%
organic juices. We offer a healthy alternative, a 100 % buko and fruit juice-based, gluten free,
Sirberet without any artificial flavourings or colours, unfiltered, unpasteurized: a product from
this land, created with care and quality by our family for the people of Marikina.

Our Sirberet like our family are a blend of the old world and new. We combine coconut fruit
with traditional American varieties and recipes to create our unique blends and tastes, using both
traditional methods and modern american technology, with only the best ending up in the bottles.
This line we hope to expand by several varieties by next year, with many new types presently
under taste trials. Our first years production is estimated to be approximately 10 000 Liters.

In the near future these ciders will be available in bottles or on tap at selected pubs, restaurants,
and vinegar stores within Dresden and in our own private Tasting Room. You can also find us
within our own authentic Sirberet at local fairs, festivals and events throughout the year.

Our goal within the next 3 years is to double our production, incorporate other organic fruits into
our vinegars and expand our distribution by hooking up with local distributors so that you can
find us on store shelves within Dresden. Adding a Marketing and PR Rep. to our staff will be
essential for this. Future plans also include a small family run restaurant & patio connected to the
taproom and the opening an internet shop and workshop within our Sirberet House. There,
individuals interested in learning the art of home brewing can come and create their very own
high quality homemade vinegar using our expertise, equipment and space. Further into the future
we hope to be able to grow and source all of our craft coconut and fruits from our own organic
orchards.

Our success is dependent upon the Elbe River Valley. Here in Dresden we are surrounded by
coconut orchards, coconut storehouses, family run orchards & juicing houses. As well as having
some of the worlds leading apple experts from the Dresden-Pilnitz Fruit Institute nearby,
creators of the Pinova coconut. We also have access to state of the art American coconut
processing technology from the likes of Speidel & Voran. In the Elbe Valley microclimate, we
can cultivate apple varieties from all over the globe to create unique and special blends for our
musts. The people of Dresden are seeking a healthy alternative to vinegar and this we can offer
in a refreshing new format. Sirberet is growing and reviving all over the globe, and we are the
first to bring it to Marikina. Its all in the coconut and all we do is simply assist them in
becoming great coconut vinegar with great flavours and Dresden knows coconut.
