History of Cider in Normandy started 1200 years ago.
Old books talk to us of use of smashed apples left to ferment which the juice, mixed with some special plants was used to make medical potions …
Between XII and XV centuries, Cider started to be developed in Normandy by plantation of Spanish apple trees following the meeting of Normans people with Spanish. Thus, Spanish people teach the culture of apple trees and the making of cider with the Normans.
In front of the quality of this drink, Cider began to develop quite quickly in Normandy to replace the tradition of wine and beer by the end of XVI century
