Pays d'Auge Cambremer is a cider made by the process of fermentation of a traditional variety of apples in the French regions of Lower and Upper Normandy. The Cambremer area is in the middle of the Pays d'Auge. The fermentation of the chopped or grated apples is a slow process, and the final product is an unsweetened, unpasteurized and natural cider with a fruity flavor and an amber color.
It has a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness and has been renowned for its quality since the time of King Henry IV when his doctor mentioned the unique cider in his writings. It still holds a very high reputation in France and is sold in glass bottles of different shapes and sizes that are suitable for the internal pressure resistance caused by the final stage of fermentation.
Locally, it is enjoyed after a hearty meal and goes especially well with seafood or poultry dishes.
