What people say...

I’ve recently relocated from Waiheke Island to Whanganui where I run my online Holistic Health & Life Coaching Consultancy. Thus, it is probably no surprise that I’m exceptional passionate about optimal health and wellbeing.

I previously purchased a very large glass flagon of your vinegar from Gulf Foods on Tahi Road, Whaiheke Island about 3 months ago. It’s getting low and so I decided to purchase directly from your website.

Thank you for providing the opportunity to nurture and nourish peoples health while at the same time embodying a sensitive and holistic philosophy towards the environment and the ecosystem.

As a Health Coach I also provide recommendations for my clients dietary nutrition. Naturally, I’ll be recommending your wonderful product to them.

Thank you for your vision, passion and determination to honour yourself, your fellow human beings and the wider environment too.

Dear folks, I was recently given a bottle of Goulter’s Apple Cider Vinegar, which I had not encountered before. I have used a number of other different brands over the years but this was by far the nicest I have discovered.

I would also like to pass an observation of a possible beneficial effect. I have a benign enlarged prostate, which as you probably know means I often make trips to the toilet during the night. I take medication for this, but it’s not always very effective. Now, I have noticed in the past that if I take a glass of cider vinegar and honey after dinner, sometimes the number of trips reduces. It may be coincidence, but I wonder whether something akin to the grapefruit effect is happening. (There are many medications for which grapefruit is prohibited, as it has a multiplier effect on the medication, in some cases to a dangerous level. Any pharmacist will verify this.)

Anyway, I have noticed that in the last two weeks of using your ACV, the number of night trips has on average diminished, which is very appreciated. I cannot say definitively that your product is the cause, but it does seem to me to be beyond just coincidence.

With warm regards.

I recently discovered the Goulter’s All Natural Vinegar Cleaner, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Based in Nelson and made with 100% local products, this cleaner is both incredibly effective and non-toxic for both humans and the environment. What more could you ask for?

I love how this product leaves surfaces beautifully clean without any harsh chemicals, and it’s so easy to use. Plus, the fact that it’s made with all-natural ingredients means I can feel good about using it in my home without worrying about any harmful effects.

But that’s not all – Goulter’s also offers an apple cider vinegar made from organic, locally-sourced apples that has a fantastic, original taste. It’s so delicious and versatile – I use it for cooking, dressing salads, and even as a refreshing drink.

After trying these fantastic products, I now swear by Goulter’s commitment to using natural, locally-sourced ingredients in their products. I highly recommend giving Goulter’s All Natural Vinegar Cleaner and their apple cider vinegar a try – you won’t be disappointed!

One bright spot in our day is Goulter’s Organic ACV vinegar. Floral, delicate and yet sharp – enhances everything. Our latest use is what I call a “Health Drink” (acceptable to hubby). A bit of pink salt, a bit of ACV and warm water in the morning. It’s a bit like a broth and although we don’t always FEEL like having it, we feel lifted and revived AFTER drinking the Health Drink. And it seems to be helping my 60 something skin look a little more youthful on the face. Thank you.

I own a small, environmentally friendly gardening company in Auckland and have searched for years for a suitable herbicide for my team and my clients. I had tried the ‘big name’ brands available in garden centres, but nothing was ever quite effective enough for our needs, until I found WeedX.

I was drawn to WeedX firstly because it is a New Zealand made product that is natural, biodegradable and safe to use around pets and children. The fact that this product is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency is extremely reassuring as caring for the environment is one of our top priorities.

WeedX does a much better job on weeds than any of the other eco products we have tried. We have been using WeedX in our client’s gardens across Auckland’s North Shore for several years now, and would not dream of trying another brand – thank you Goulter’s for creating a safe, environmentally friendly and effective herbicide at last!

It’s great to finally have a natural non-toxic spray to use in the nursery, particularly with customers walking through. I use Goulter’s WeedX to keep on top of moss, general weeds and pearl wort. There is a lingering vinegar smell but it only lasts half a day and less in the summer with the heat. We find WeedX is perfect as a “one hit” for the weeds, moss and liver wort. It also does not destroy the soil life.

I’ve been using the Apple Cider Capsules twice a day in the morning and then after dinner for about 3 weeks and have found them amazing.

I have pretty to severe reflux and that has calmed right down, so much so that I could stop taking omeprazole and just use the odd quick-eze when I eat something oily or greasy.

But even better than that I had a very coated tongue, do you know that white coating? After only about 3 or 4 days that coating was gone and has stayed gone.

I thoroughly recommend the capsules to anyone that finds drinking Apple Cider Vinegar a bit difficult because of the strength.

I am writing to say how delighted I was to received your WeedX Natural Herbicide product through the Get Growing competition recently. Such an amazing product when sprayed on the weeds, they shrivel and collapse within a day. So easy to use and a pleasant vinegar smell as well.

Thank you for such a great prize I was lucky to be the recipient of.

I tried Goulter’s Honeygar last week for the first time while suffering from severe hay fever making me cough almost continuously for days. I drank my first glass and stopped coughing – it was like magic! Honeygar is really palatable and easy to drink. Since then I have included Honeygar into my morning smoothie. It just adds an amazing extra zing to my day. Thank you for a wonderful product.

We were so pleased to find we were able to buy the Apple Cider Vinegar direct from you. We have been doing the expensive thing and getting some from an Organic Shop down here in Dunedin. We have been so pleased with the results it was time to look for a more economic source. We are actually giving it to our goats, both Boer + Nubians and have found the goats have had the lowest worm counts ever. They are going up to 6 months without needing to be wormed, which is unbelievable. They are in different paddocks so the only commonality is the Apple Cider Vinegar. They are also looking so well – we are converts!

Hi, I just had to write to tell you my experience with your ACV. 13 months ago we moved from Nelson to just outside Murchison together with our three horses and 2 donkeys. We knew the area was a ‘hot spot’ for sand flies but had no idea how bad they would affect our horses/donkeys. They drove them MAD. One our ‘girls’ was bitten between her eyes on the front of her face which became infected. I applied cream recommended by the vet and the bite healed. Determined she should not have to suffer this again, I purchased a fly spray for horses from one of the farm supply companies.

Unfortunately she reacted to the spray and lost the fur from her face, which of course was another blow. We were devastated but I was determined to find an answer to this problem. On searching the net I came across the attached article, purchased 2x bottles of your ACV and proceeded to add it to their feeds. You have no idea how delighted and re- leaved we have been with the results. The sand flies are still around but not biting our horses.

The sand flies leave us alone too, not to mention all the other benefits to our health. After reading the label on the bottle and finding your web site, we shall be calling into your shop in future. Many thanks for such a wonderful product.

Fabulous! I bought a bottle of Kiwifruit Vinegar when I was visiting Dad a few weeks ago and it is almost all gone! It’s a great alternative to AVC. I would of course prefer if it was organic, but with it being a fermented product I am a little more lenient on my stance. I have been drinking it with sparkling water which is super refreshing and using it in dressings.

I am a long – term sufferer from Interstitial Cystitis (IC) – a disorder whereby my bladder is overly sensitive, causing constant pain and the urgent need to frequently pee (often up to 20 times during the day and up to 10 times during the night!) I have spent many years trying different forms of natural treatments and diets attempting to ease the symptoms such as controlling everything I eat and drink to try to maintain an internal state of alkalinity, however the results are never consistent or ongoing!

Dealing with chronic pain impacts on all aspects of my daily life which can be stressful and at times depressing. However, I am delighted to say that my bladder condition and poor health has dramatically changed since I met with the Goulter family and they encouraged me to try their kiwi fruit vinegar health tonic! The Goulter’s stressed, “The trick is to stick with it for at least four weeks!” Thanks to that great advice and the wonderful healing properties of the product, I am happy to declare that I am living pain free! Two teaspoons of Kiwi fruit Vinegar in warm water each morning and evening keeps my body to remain in a ‘state of alkaline’. It feels great not to be constantly bothered by pain and I am peeing ‘a normal’ 6 times a day and only once during the night. Needless to say, this has improved my sleep, my energy levels and overall mood and well-being. Thank you to the Goulters, for your recommendation, your expert advice and for the remarkable Kiwi Fruit Vinegar Health Tonic that is a life changing, life-support for me!

I am a 53 year old woman who was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in my early 20’s. IBS is one of those problems that always seemed to crop up at the most awful times and sometimes it didn’t seem to matter what I had eaten. Aside from that I have no health issues and do not take any medication at all. I had heard all sorts of great things about the benefits of starting each day with apple cider vinegar, and although I’m usually quite skeptical, I thought it certainly couldn’t do any harm. Seriously, or as the young ones would say OMG, I could not believe the change in the way my gut felt. No more stomach grumbling, cramping and everything that comes after that! I was told to make sure that I purchased a raw, unfiltered brand and at the time I could only find one on the supermarket shelves. Then a few months ago I discovered that Goulters were making a high quality product right here in Nelson, there was no way I was going to support an overseas company when there was one literally right on my back doorstep. Apple cider vinegar has made a huge difference to me. I know some people don’t like the taste very much, me included, so I mix a small amount of Manuka Honey in with it and it tastes fantastic. My husband in a convert and so are many family members and friends. A big thanks from me.

I LOVE this product! Being a cancer survivor, eating and drinking healthy products (especially organic) is a vital part of my lifestyle. Goulter’s Apple Cider Vinegar fits the bill in this respect due to the high levels of antioxidants associated with apples and more specifically apple skins. The Vinegar has many uses eg in dressings, bottling and preserving foods, as a health tonic and I also add a splash in stock troughs as a preventative for intestinal worms. Even the chooks and dog don’t miss out. I thoroughly recommend it.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) contains high levels of acetic and Malic acid as well as Vitamins, Mineral Salts and Amino Acids. Some of ACV’s active ingredients are soluble fibers in the form of Pectin, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Thiamin, Lycopene, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Riboflavin and Beta-carotene. It also contains other minerals like Sodium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Iron and Magnesium. All of these powerful substances work together and make ACV very effective as an Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial and Anti-fungal tonic. I am so incredibly grateful that the Goulters have developed this very safe product which I can now use in my home and as a garden spray instead of having to rely on very toxic chemical options. A reliable product produced to high standards by people with integrity who care.

Fay Christie

Love your ACV, it is very good quality, taste and a very beneficial product. Thank you for supplying ACV. Your other products look very interesting and useful also! Thanks so much.

I suffered from extreme pain with my Osteoarthritis and Gout for years. So much so that I had to give up my lawn bowls. The doctors wanted to operate on my knee however I decided I would own my condition so I made up a special concoction which included turmeric, coconut oil, and seaweed, I found it to be 80% effective for my osteoarthritis and my gout has completely disappeared. A couple of months ago I was recommended Goulter’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. I started taking 3-4 teaspoons of this twice daily in a glass of warm water. This vinegar has made such a difference to me because it has boosted my well being so that I am now 100% better. Even I can’t believe it! I am now back at lawn bowls and my friends can’t believe the difference. I found it took about 3 days before I started feeling the difference. I have also learnt you HAVE to take it religiously. When I forget I feel some pain returning however when I take the Vinegar I’m back on track. I hope this helps those of you out there who are suffering from painful arthritis.

I have been using Goulter’s Citrogar cleaning solution and it is fantastic! As a cleaner I have found it so hard to find a completely all natural product with zero animal testing that works so well. I found the best use for Citrogar is in the bathroom when working on domestic cleans. It cuts through soap scum and oils quickly in crevasses, glass and we found that the homes we used it in remained cleaner for longer than those that we didn’t. For an at home user I would recommend leaving Citrogar to sit for a wee bit to reap the full benefits of this product. Although I enjoy the vinegar smell, we were a bit worried at first of the home owners reaction, but the vinegar smell quickly dissipates into nothing as it dries, leaving only the fresh smell of citrus.

I’m delighted to know I can purchase your Citrogar all natural cleaner at Virve in Queen Street, Richmond. I appreciate these natural products and like to support local businesses as well. I get my Goulter’s ACV bottle refilled at The Pantry Door, Stoke. Haven’t tried your Kiwifruit Vinegar yet but I am aiming to very soon. I wish you continuing success as you grow and expand your business.

Lyn Ashby

Your Citrogar is really great on the windows and glass in general. Good in shower also but I have used Shower Witch for some time now and that is also great. Really great on the floor tiles that we have in the bathroom/toilet as well as the kitchen, hearth and other tiled areas that we have. Another unusual use that I tried it on is on the soles of inside shoes and slippers. You would not think that shoes that are solely worn inside get grubby but they do and there are occasions when Tony goes outside in his slippers, it cleans them up a treat! There is one thing that I really do like and that is the clear lettering on the on and off toggle. It is just so easy to read so a real pat on the back for this. It is amazing how hard it is to try and read some of the ready to use sprays to know whether or not you have turned it on or off.

I came across Goulter’s Citrogar cleaner the other week after trying to find an eco friendly cleaner to wash houses down. In my trade the go to cleaner is Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) which is so detrimental to the environment, there need be no more said on that product. The ethos of Pure Eco Painting is to use products that are natural, environmentally friendly and completely safe for use personally. The house I washed down was riddled with mould, mildew and muck that hadn’t been washed in many years. It become spotless and in my opinion out performed other products on the market. It’s natural, safe for the environment and super tough on cleaning power. Pure Eco Painting will be using this product to wash exterior houses in the future. Thanks Goulter’s Vinegar!

ACV works well, we will buy again. Great price and easily obtainable.

I’ve lived in New Zealand, Australia and Scotland and have bought variants of Apple Cider Vinegar in all three countries. In addition I have a fructose intolerance – even lemon juice is very upsetting to my entire system. So being able to use Apple Cider Vinegar is important from a health aspect, for encouraging better digestion, as an encouragement to the microorganisms in my body and on my skin. Not to mention the culinary uses! I can categorically say that Goulter’s Raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar is superior to any I have tasted or used in the three countries we have lived in. The flavour is so fruity and yet does not disturb my system, in fact enhances my digestion. Also the vinegar has a superior strength for use in any application. So in some dishes, I can use less than with other brands. I bought a 20 litre container and yes, it comes with a tap! I use the Apple Cider Vinegar in SO many ways.

Recently we were enjoying a BBQ at friends – then the mozzie squad arrived. As always, I seemed to be the prime target – no matter where, if there are mozzies, they’ll find me. Within seconds, I was trying to maintain a friendly social conversation, whilst inside my head screaming any number of descriptions about mosquitoes. Fortunately, our host quickly recognised my not-too-subtle attempts at rubbing the growing number of attack sites, and out came the remedy – Goulter’s apple cider vinegar. Worked like magic. And the itching was neutralised in a very short time. And stayed that way. Yet another use discovered for our bottle of Goulter’s at home. Should have looked at their website more. Thanks, Goulter’s
