　りんごのもつ素晴らしい成分とワインの文化の融合

なぜ、シードルか

　シードルとはリンゴを発酵させて作ったお酒のことです。

　シードルを選んだ理由は次の３つです。第１にシードルが美味しかったこと。第２にそれを作ってみたかったこと。第３に「お酒」という取り組むのには抵抗感が少ない分野であること。以上のことからです。

　なぜ、リンゴのお酒かというと、私の実家は青森でリンゴ農家を営んでいます。このままの経営を続けていたのでは時代の変遷によって破綻してしまうと考えていました。そんな時に出会ったシードルは私の考え方を大きく変えるものでした。それは１点目にお酒という幅広い年齢層から支持されるものであること。２点目に保存期間が生食、ジュースとは比べ物にならないほど長く資産価値が高いこと以上の２点からです。

　将来、ディナータイムに自分の作ったシードルを飲みながら皆と素敵な時間を過ごしている・・。そんな「夢」を今、描きはじめました。

　以上が私がシードルを今回選んだ理由です。

Most people think France is the country of wine, but the Bretagne region in northwest France is blessed with a soil and a climate perfect for growing apples. The people of the Bretagne region have a well-established apple culture, so it's no wonder that life seems to revolve around this fruit.

Cidre

a fresh, light alcoholic beverage which has been a part of life for more than 2000 years.

Calvados

a distilled alcoholic beverage which is sometimes known as "eau de vie", water of life.

Pommeau

an apple liqueur made from cidre which is drunk as an aperitif.

As cidre contains much less alcohol than wine, it can play a role similar to that of beer, and can be drunk on many different occasions, casual or formal, to quench thirst or to accompany a meal.

 

Dry cidre is 4.5% alcohol and sweet cidre 2%.

Not simply for its taste but also for its health benefits, cidre will become one of the internationally loved beverages of the century.

 

 Val de Rance Cidre has just right balance of alcohol (4.5% dry, 2% sweet), is easy to drink, is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acid, and also contains a high amount of polyphenol.

 

 

About polyphenol (tannin)

This vegetable substance, found in apple, grape and tea, is the reason for a bitter and astringent taste. This component was responsible for the red wine boom in Japan which began with reports stating that two glasses of red wine daily would help preventing hardening of the arteries, and can benefit your body in several ways.

 

The effects of Polyphenol in Cidre

-Because of the antioxidation action, cholesterol doesn't adhere to blood vessels, preventing hardening of the arteries.

-Polyphenol has an antiallergic action and bacterio static, so it heals allergic symptoms such as atopic dermatitis.

-The restraining action of the thylogenase enzyme prevents melanin synthesis, which helps keep the skin in a good healthy condition.

-Polyphenol helps prevent the build-up of oral bacterial enzymes and helps prevent tooth decay.

-It helps to prevent bad breath by restraining outbreaks of methyl mercaptan.
