About Company
Pearson’s Cider is made from 100% fresh pressed cider apple juice, on a small farm at the foot of the Malvern Hills.
We love making great cider. It’s all done using traditional methods, but with a little help from the latest technology.
Our ciders are made from 100% fresh pressed cider apple juice. We don’t use artificial stuff.
HOW DO WE MAKE OUR CIDER?
We don’t use artificial stuff. We only use 100% fresh pressed cider apple juice. We get this from pressing carefully selected bitter sweet and bitter sharp cider apples. We only use orchards that we know well and we can tell you down to the tree where we’ve sourced our apples from and all of them come from within 15 miles of our mill. If you look at our bottle labels they will tell you what apples and what yeast we have used to make your cider.
We wash and inspect each apple before putting it in the mill.
We work on the basis “if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t make cider with it”. Once pressed we introduce a carefully selected yeast strain to the juice which we hold in a temperature controlled fermentation vessel to make the yeast all happy and get it growing.
Once it’s on its way we pump it into another fermentation vessel where it is left to it’s own devices for as long as it takes to convert all of the sugar in the juice into alcohol. When it’s finished we rack it off into a maturation vessel. Basically this just means we carefully syphon the cider off the dead yeast that falls to the bottom of the tank once it’s done its job and put the ‘racked’ cider in a new vessel so it can mature.
Then it’s feet up for a good few months while the cider matures and develops some nice flavours, [whilst having the occasional sample along the way].
The blending
Around the spring time we’ll start testing the base ciders and having a think about how they will best blend together. We then leave it a few more months, just to be sure.
