"Normandy is par excellence a land of apples and cider. Established since 1946 in Auvers in the Manche department, Maison Hérout is no exception to the rule. For many generations, the transformation of apples into cider and Calvados has been cultural, rooted in the Cotentin region! Maison Hérout is a forerunner of excellent organic cider production, with a 100% organic orchard since the 1970s and a militant desire to preserve traditional know-how.
All Maison Hérout ciders are 100% pure juice and unpasteurized. Maison Hérout works according to the “ancestral method”, with natural foaming in the bottle (without adding gas) on all of the estate's cuvées. It is at the origin of the creation of the AOC Cotentin by the INAO (National Institute of Appellations of Origin) in September 2016, valuing its heritage as well as the terroir and the transmission of regional know-how." ~Maison Herout
