North Coast Organic Apple Cider
What it is
This is a beverage made from pressed organic apples. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, meaning it retains more of the natural apple pulp and enzymes. The cider is cloudy in appearance due to the presence of fine apple particles. It offers a taste that is true to fresh apples, with a balance of sweetness and tartness.
How people cook with it
Apple cider is a versatile drink enjoyed on its own or as a base for other preparations.
- Enjoy chilled on a warm day.
- Warm with spices for a cozy drink.
- Use as a base for mulled beverages.
- Incorporate into baking recipes.
To enjoy, simply pour directly from the container. For a warming experience, gently heat the cider in a saucepan over medium heat, being careful not to boil it. You can enhance the flavor by adding cinnamon sticks, cloves, or star anise while heating. It can also be used in cooking, such as in braising liquids for pork or chicken, or as a moistening agent in cakes and muffins.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pasteurized apple juice, this organic cider is unfiltered and unpasteurized. This means it has a more robust, fresh-from-the-orchard flavor and a cloudy appearance. The lack of pasteurization preserves more of the natural characteristics of the apple.
Who it is for
Home cooks and beverage enthusiasts who appreciate natural, unfiltered flavors will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the cider refrigerated to maintain its freshness. It is best consumed within a week of opening. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent any contamination or spoilage. Store upright to minimize any potential leaks.
