Hardanger Cider
0
A trip through the beautiful Sørfjord is not solely about experiencing the beautiful nature, but also about tasting experiences. Hardanger cider is a place bound and protected trademark on par with French champagne. And rightly so! The lush nature and the unique climate along the Hardanger fjord give especially favourable conditions for growing high quality apples. Monks were the first to discover that the area was suitable for fruit production in the 14th century. Over the following generations, the famous Hardanger fruit has been pressed and processed to perfection, but it was not until the end of the 20th century that farmers began commercial production. Over recent years its popularity has reached new heights and Hardanger cider has won many national and international prizes. Do you spell cider with an s or a c? Here in Norway, we write it with an s. but regardless of the spelling the name originates from Hebrew and means strong drink.
