Apple Cider

The next time you feel like having an apple, try pouring one into your glass and catch the lively taste of apples, perfectly blended into a refreshing experience, the only thing missing is the crunch!

Colour and taste are the two notable differences between cider and juice. With the cider, most of the apple pulp is retained and this accounts for the darker colour, the sediment and the more robust taste.

Delicious cold or heated up with a dash of cinnamon or blend of spices, either way, discover the old fashioned goodness of Mountain Orchards Sweet Apple Cider.

More than 25,000 local consumers and tourists visit Mountain Orchards each year and never fail to be impressed by the high quality of the Mountain Orchards Sweet Apple Cider!

Nutritive Value of Cider

Cider – the "freshly squeezed apple" – contains all essential minerals and vitamins found in apples.
