Écusson Sweet Organic Cider

Écusson Doux Bio Cider, IGP Cidre de Normandie Brut, is an exquisite and authentic fermented beverage that encapsulates the rich tradition and cider-making heritage of the Normandy region of France.

"Doux" cider is distinguished by its meticulous production process.

The selection of organic apples is carried out with special attention to ripeness and the balance of sugars and acidity.

This ensures that the apples provide the natural flavors and sugars needed to create a sweet and refreshing cider.

Once the fruit has been harvested, it is pressed to extract the must, which is then subjected to a controlled fermentation process.

During fermentation, the sugars in the apples are converted into alcohol, but this process is stopped before it reaches too high a level, preserving the natural sweetness and fruity characteristics of the cider.

The result is a drink that captivates with its fresh and fruity flavor, with notes of ripe apples and a balanced sweetness.

"Doux" cider is a perfect choice for those who enjoy sweet and refreshing drinks, and is an ideal accompaniment to light dishes, desserts or simply to enjoy at any time of day.

The commitment to quality and organic production is evident in every bottle of "Doux" cider, which represents a passion for cider and a dedication to delivering an exceptional taste experience.

This cider is a testament to the craftsmanship and authenticity that makes it stand out in the world of gourmet beverages.

The process of making Écusson Sweet Organic Cider begins with the careful selection of apples.

In Normandy, specific apple varieties are cultivated that provide a balanced combination of sweet, acidic, and bitter flavors to the must.

These apples are hand-picked at their peak ripeness and then washed and prepared for the next stage.

Once washed, the apples are crushed to obtain the juice, also known as must.

The must undergoes a gentle pressing process to efficiently extract the juice without introducing unwanted flavors.

The resulting must is placed in fermentation tanks, where alcoholic fermentation occurs.

In this process, the sugars present in the must are converted into alcohol under the action of natural or selected yeasts.

Fermentation can take several weeks, during which the temperature and other factors are carefully controlled to ensure that the flavors and aromas develop optimally.

Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the cider is racked and separated from the sediment, which contributes to its clarity and brightness.

After alcoholic fermentation, the cider goes through a maturation process in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels, depending on the desired flavor profile.

During this phase, the flavors are refined and integrated, and the cider acquires its unique characteristics.

Finally, carbonation takes place, where the cider is bottled along with a small amount of residual sugar and yeasts to generate carbon dioxide naturally.

This results in the typical effervescence of cider.
