What is non-alcoholic cider?
Non-alcoholic cider is a drink made with fermented apple juice to which a method is applied to eliminate alcohol. The end result is a non-alcoholic drink that captures the essence of apples without alcohol content.
In terms of taste, we can expect non-alcoholic cider to taste similar to traditional cider. Here you have to choose the cider according to your tastes. For example, if you like a more acidic, sweet, citrus flavor, etc. An advantage is that non-alcoholic ciders contain fewer calories than their alcoholic counterparts.
How is it made?
The ingredients to make non-alcoholic cider are the same as alcoholic cider. The main difference happens in the fermentation process. In the case of alcohol-free cider, the must is not fermented, so as not to generate alcohol, or it is fermented and the alcohol is subsequently removed.
In the case of Galipette non-alcoholic cider, the apple juice is allowed a brief fermentation, stopped by careful temperature control, before the sugars are converted to alcohol. This is how you get a 100% pure non-alcoholic cider, without adding anything else.
Another method for creating 0% alcohol cider is reverse osmosis. It consists of once the must has been fermented, the liquid is passed through membranes that separate the alcohol from the rest, preserving the organoleptic characteristics of the cider. Afterward, processes will be carried out to restore the flavor and obtain the final non-alcoholic cider.
A versatile alcohol-free drink
0% alcohol cider is a very versatile drink, which allows you to enjoy it on any occasion. It can be enjoyed at any time of day and is also excellent for cooking and making cocktails. Alcohol-free cider is suitable for pregnant women, as it does not contain alcohol.
We recommend taking it as an aperitif and as a soft drink. Being a fresh and light non-alcoholic sparkling drink, it is also a good choice to accompany light meals. In short, this is an ideal alternative for those who want to reduce alcohol consumption without giving up the rich flavor of cider.
