Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. It gains more and more popularity around the world, although in Spain and some other countries has been known for centuries. In Spain it has been produced since ''always'', and mainly in the northern provinces - Asturias, Cantabria and Basque Country. These regions are also calles a''Green Spain'', because it gets a lot of rain there, - which is perfect for apple growing.
Traditional Spanish cider is made primarily with sharp and semi-sharp local apple varieties. Each pressing takes few days to complete, and the tradition is to allow wild yeasts to ferment the cider, rather than using cultured yeasts. After pressing, the juice is pumped into chestnut barrels or stainless steel tanks. Traditional Spanish cider requires both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation to reach completeness.
