| French Cider,
the traditional
drink with Crêpes Cider is an alcoholic beverage made primarily from the juices of specially grown varieties of apples. In most places in the world, the term refers to fermented apple juice, but the drink is known as hard cider in the United States, where the term "cider" almost exclusively refers to apple cider, a minimally processed variety of apple juice. Cider generally has a stronger alcoholic content than typical beer, usually over 5%, and appears golden yellow and often cloudy. To produce cider, apples are washed and mashed, pressed, then fermented in oak vats using yeasts. The drink is very popular and traditional in Brittany and Normandy (France), in the UK, Ireland and northern Spain. French "cidre" is an alcoholic drink produced predominantly in Normandy and Brittany. It varies in strength from below 4% alcohol to considerably more. Most French ciders are sparkling. Until the mid-20th century, cider was the second most-consumed drink in France (after wine). In restaurants, cider is sometimes served in traditional ceramic bowls (or wide cups) rather than glasses. |
