About Us
Norman Cider has its roots in England where we have been picking and squashing apples happily for many years. It was a happy coincidence that we moved here around the same time that this golden drink began its renaissance in Sweden. There is now a vibrant culture of craft cider makers and enthusiastic converts. Our ambition is for more people to get to know how good cider can be.
Norman Cider is produced by The Kitchen Garden Falkenberg AB. In addition to cider making, we are passionate about soil health and food production (read more at www.thekitchengarden.se). Going forward, Norman Cider will be produced on the beautiful island of Tjörn, in collaboration with Skedets Äppelgård, an apple farm with an acre of traditional English cider apple trees.

Real Cider
Real cider is alive and we take care to keep it that way, making best use of the raw materials to foster a living drink that is full of character. The fruit comes from farms and private gardens that abstain from chemical inputs, as well as wild trees with desirable characteristics. Sulfites are rarely added, although they do occur naturally in cider. Spontaneous fermentation turns the must into cider, which is then stored in steel tanks for at least six months. Bottling takes place with a pinch of sugar which allows a fine carbonation to build up naturally through bottle conditioning. Unlike typical Swedish ciders, our ciders are currently all dry or off dry.
Our ciders are now available through restaurants and through Systembolaget. Please check back here or on our Instagram account @normancider for more info.
