Unique expressions of extraordinary apples
Dazzling ciders hailing from Northern Vermont
Apples have more genetic diversity in their chromosomes than humans,” says Eleanor Leger, founder of Eden Specialty Ciders in Vermont. “Every seed is created through cross-pollination, resulting in a unique genetic individual. The diversity of tannin, sugar, acids, size and color is huge, which means the potential for all kinds of [apple-based] drinks is huge, too.” [ Source: Wine Enthusiast, The Women Leading American Cider Forward ]
Eleanor Leger, Eden Ciders’ Founder Owner and also the newly appointed President of the American Cider Association, founded Eden Cider about 15 years ago with the first federally approved label in the United States for ice cider. At that time, they were they were only the 85th cider maker in the U.S. — today there are over 1,100!
