Hy's Cider Mill 100% Apple Cider
What it is
This is pure apple cider, made from pressed apples. It is a natural beverage, unfiltered and unpasteurized. The cider retains the fresh taste of the orchard. It is a simple drink, offering the essence of ripe apples. It is not a juice, as it has not undergone filtration or pasteurization. This means it has a cloudier appearance and a more robust flavor profile. It is a traditional beverage enjoyed by many.
