A French producer of organic ciders free from added sulphites and carbon neutral is looking for distributors

Bottles size 50 cl) : this apple Brandy was aged four years in oak casks before being bottled.

After a careful and lengthy distillation the eau de vie is aged in oak casks (made in France) without added flavors, colorants, or sulfites. The company has about 6000 liters of Calvados in barrels. 3 - Pommeau (17 % alcohol. Bottles size 50 cl) : the classic cocktail liqueur of Normandy, is a carefully crafted marriage between Calvados and fresh apple juice.
