Normandy France tour 8/9 Cider and Calvados tasting

No just we learn a lot from visiting the cider and calvados production houses, it is also a pleasure to wander around the grounds of these multi-generations family business, with the old buildings in great conditioins.
 

Calvados is distilled cider, with an alcohol content over 40%, aged in various oak casks like sherry, whiskey, port etc for the colour and rounded deep flavor.

 Cider is made from special cider apples that have a lot of fragrance and tannin, most houses have a mix of over 30 types, fermented at arond 15˚c for 2 to 3 months, for the rich flavor, bottled under pressure so that it is very bubbly like champagne on opening, with only 4% alcolhol.
