APPLE CIDER Meaning and
Definition
-
Apple cider is a type of beverage made from the fermentation of fresh apples, predominantly using apple juice as the base ingredient. It is produced by crushing and pressing apples to extract the natural juices, which is then allowed to undergo fermentation. This fermentation process produces alcohol, typically ranging from 3% to 8% ABV (alcohol by volume), and gives apple cider its distinct tangy and mildly sweet flavor.
Apple cider can be enjoyed in both non-alcoholic and alcoholic forms. Non-alcoholic apple cider, also known as sweet cider or soft cider, is a pure, unfiltered juice that retains the natural flavors and components of the apple. It is typically consumed in its raw form, unpasteurized, and may have a cloudy appearance due to the presence of apple sediments.
Alcoholic apple cider, on the other hand, is often referred to as hard cider. It is produced by allowing the apple juice to undergo fermentation for a longer period, resulting in a higher alcohol content. Hard cider can range in taste and strength, from dry to sweet, and may be carbonated or still.
Apple cider is commonly enjoyed during the fall season, often associated with harvest festivals and traditions. It is frequently served hot, spiced with cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg, providing a warm and comforting beverage. Apple cider is also used as an ingredient in various culinary creations, such as apple cider vinegar, cider doughnuts, and apple cider-based cocktails.
