The Ice Cider of the Neige brand is a local product resulting from the know-how and the Quebec climate. This original alcoholic drink moves away from our traditional cider and is closer to sweet wine. It has an alcohol content of 12% and is offered here in a 375 ml bottle.

Its taste is balanced and harmonious, right down to the finish. Neige ice cider is both sweet and tangy. Its color is an intense orange gold and it has lingering aromas of stewed apple. This drink received the prize for best ice cider during an edition of the Cider Challenge in England.

Serve chilled (6°C), as an aperitif or at the end of a meal with cheese or dessert. Some will also appreciate it as a digestive.

Description

What is ice cider?

It is an alcoholic drink obtained by the fermentation of apples, and whose action is concentrated by the cold. The Canadian climate is particularly suited to its production. It is in Quebec that it was created, because its rigorous temperatures allow the concentration of sugar in its body necessary for its production.

There are two ways to obtain ice cider: cryoconcentration - the most common method in Canada - or cryoextraction. The two techniques can also be combined, it all depends on the producer.

Ice cider and the Domaine Neige brand

It was founded by François Pouliot and based in Hemmingford in Montérégie. The history of the brand is that of the encounter between fruit and cold. Moreover, its concept is: “Elaborated with Nature, inspired by the cold”. It is a branch of La Face Cachée de la Pomme, considered to be the creator of ice cider. In fact, Neige ice cider was the first bottle to be marketed under this name in 1999. To benefit from it today, the production conditions are governed by a provincial regulation. Ice cider has even benefited from a Protected Geographical Indication since 2014.
