Premium Apple Cider
What it is
This is a fresh, unfiltered apple cider, made from a blend of apple varieties. It is pressed to capture the natural flavors and aromas of ripe apples. The cider has a cloudy appearance due to the presence of apple pulp and sediment. It is not pasteurized, which helps preserve its bright, tangy taste and robust apple character. This beverage is a simple expression of the fruit, offering a pure taste of autumn.

This apple cider is best served chilled, straight from the refrigerator. It can also be gently heated with mulling spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise for a warm, comforting drink, especially during cooler months. In the kitchen, it can be used in baking recipes, such as cakes or muffins, to add moisture and a subtle apple flavor. It also works well as a braising liquid for pork or chicken, or as a base for pan sauces, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity to complement savory dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike clear apple juice, this cider is unfiltered and contains natural apple solids, giving it a richer texture and a more intense apple flavor. Its unpasteurized nature also contributes to a fresher, more vibrant taste profile compared to shelf-stable juices.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, this apple cider should be kept refrigerated to maintain its freshness. It is recommended to consume it within a week of opening. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and preserve the delicate apple notes.
