Asturian Cider

Asturian cider, known as "sidra," is a traditional fermented beverage from Asturias, Spain. Made primarily from local cider apples, it is naturally sparkling and typically has a dry, tart flavor profile with subtle fruity notes. Unlike commercial ciders, Asturian sidra is often produced using traditional methods, including spontaneous fermentation and pouring techniques that aerate the drink. It is usually served in an uncarbonated state from a height to enhance aroma and flavor. Sidra holds cultural significance in Asturias, where tasting it is an immersive social experience that reflects the region's rich cider-making heritage.
