The “Llagar de la Ferrería” (Ferrería Cider Mill) natural cider is made from varieties of cider apples that grow in the privileged natural surroundings and climate of Villaviciosa. The cider mill gives its name to this natural cider, which has been made using traditional methods. Its transparent colour, intense aroma and its delightful freshness created by the natural carbon dioxide produced during fermentation, are some of the qualities of its inimitable personality.

As the apple has adapted to the land and microclimates of Asturias over centuries, today we can enjoy a wide variety of autochthonous cider apples. The harvesting methods of organic farming respects this natural evolution and enables us to obtain a healthy and quality apple. This apple, which is hand selected and processed in our cider mill using traditional methods, is monitored under strict controls run by the Council on Organic Agriculture Production of the Principality of Asturias (COPAE). The result is a complex cider that hints of fruity compote which is delightful on the palate.

Villacubera is a unique natural cider. It is made using exclusive cider apples which are collected from the best apple orchards in Asturias. The bitter-sharp “Villacubera” apples produce an  aggressive cider which only softens after it has been matured in tanks over a long period. Some of its main characteristics are its fine aroma, rich in nuances, and is soft and flavoursome on the palate with subtle bitter hints.

The Regona apple is a strong cider apple variety that is autochthonous to Villaviciosa. This variety holds a range of nuances. It undergoes a complex elaboration based on the slow maceration and cold fermentation of fresh Regona apple juice, which produces quite a unique result. It is a natural cider to be savoured slowly, and its 6% alcohol by volume strength and light, natural carbon dioxide, are qualities that enhance its freshness and aromatic and flavoursome quality. It does not need to be “escanciado” (traditionally poured from a height, which is how Asturian natural cider is usually served), making this natural quality cider a must-have for any good restaurateur or cider lover.

Ice cider is a fermented product made of ice apple juice from 100% Premium apples. The climate, the landscape and the variety are the three key factors why Asturias is considered a unique region, birth place of quality apples.

Approximately 5 kg of apples are needed just to obtain 375 ml of this ice cider. Old gold in a glass, thick and shiny, a treat for the senses. A pure Apple fragance and a sweet and intense explosión of flavour, with 12% alcohol leaves place for the sourness and the freshness of the fruit from the “Maluspumila”. A ripe product ready to be consumed bu it will also improve positively if bottled.
