Sipping the tradition with apple cider!

Nothing beats the experience of biting into a crisp apple – except, perhaps, sipping our apple cider.

And why not? There's something special about apple cider that goes beyond its refreshing taste.

At The Big Apple, we take munching on red, juicy apples to a whole new level with our fresh & authentic apple cider.

It’s casual, it’s comforting, and it brings you a slice from the orchards.

Whether you’re sipping it solo or toasting with your pals, our apple cider is a taste of farm-fresh goodness, made with love from nature’s own apples.

So, let’s sneak into The Big Apple farms, and see how they process and make the “Oh so good apple cider” from the best-sourced apples of their orchards.

The essence of apple cider

But what exactly is apple cider?

Well, it's the artful blend of sweetness, tartness, and crispness, created through the fermentation of apple juice.

This process, rooted in agricultural tradition, turns the simple apple into a delicious, refreshing drink.

At The Big Apple, our apple cider depicts our dedication to purity and organic practices, prepared without artificial additives or preservatives.

Journey from the apple orchards to cider

The journey of our apple cider begins in the heart of The Big Apple orchards.

We start by selecting the finest, organically grown apples, chosen for their flavor and ripeness.

Also, sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us… in fact, it's a way of life that ensures our orchards thrive for generations to come.

After harvesting, our apples are gently washed and pressed using age-old methods that preserve the integrity of the juice. This juice is then naturally fermented, allowing it to develop its full aromatic potential.

Our cider makers, with years of experience, oversee the fermentation process to make sure that each batch matures perfectly, which enhances the natural flavors and characteristics of the apples.
