Cornwall's Cider Producers

Our main focus in CAMRA is Real Ale and Real Cider. On this page you will find a list of all the known Cornish cider producers on the interactive map below. CAMRA's Definition of Real Draught Cider & Perry • Ingredients * The liquid content before fermentation must consist entirely of non-pasteurised apple (cider), or pear (perry) juice * No apple or pear juice concentrates to be used. * Normally, only the sugar naturally available in the fruit should be used to cause fermentation, but in years when the level of natural sugar in the fruit is low, the addition of extraneous sugar to aid fermentation is acceptable. • Process * No pasteurisation to take place during the production process. * No added colourings to be used. * No added flavourings to be used, except pure fruits, vegetables, honey, hops, herbs and spices, yet no concentrates, cordials or essences. * There must be no artificial carbonation for draught products. * Sweetener may be added to fully fermented Cider/Perry to make it sweet or medium. * The addition of water is permitted to bring the alcoholic content of the Cider/Perry down to the level required by the producer. Ideally, however the minimum juice content should not be lower than 90% volume. * No micro filtration allowed (this takes all the yeast, leaving a "dead" product). Click on the markers to see details.
