October. The apples are at the perfect time of ripeness, the weather is kind and the harvest begins. The whole village smells of apples and sweet cider, the apples are being crushed. In the winter it is cold ,a gift for the maturation of the cider. The spark of spring with "espichas" (this is a typically Asturian party where people drink cider) is the prologue to the Asturian summer full of festivals where the air smells of cider, friends and fun.

This natural cider is dry, moderately sharp with a mildly buttery texture, offering a fine astringent taste with a characteristically fresh and fruity flavour.. It is slightly opaque true to a product that has not been filtered and pale yellow in colour with green reflections, young.
To obtain the best fruit ripening and weather conditions, harvesting begins in the second half of October. The apples are washed and slowly pressed in a pneumatic press at low pressure. Next, any sediment is decanted so that the must passes clean and cold to ferment in the cider press, where it takes the necessary maturation time. When the time comes, the natural cider is distilled by means of a physical boiling process in order to carry out the dealcoholization. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
