Strongbow vs craft cider
Strongbow is one of the most widespread brands: clear, aromatic, and standardized ciders. Craft producers use blends of local varieties, longer fermentations, and less filtration for greater complexity and territorial character.
What does "honey cider" mean?
It can indicate a cider to which honey was added during fermentation, a hybrid product between cider and mead, or in some cases what people mean is "mead," a product made exclusively from honey and water. Always check the ingredients on the label.
Tips for tasting and pairing cider
- Serve cold at 6–10°C in a tulip glass or white wine glass.
