TRABANCO ASTURIAS, SPAIN

Founded in 1925 by Emilio Trabanco, Trabanco cider is known throughout the region as being the premier natural cider from Asturias. The focus has always been on quality and following the traditional cider making methods of their native Asturias. Asturias is situated directly on the Cantabrian Sea, the historic center of Spain’s apple production and source of some of the world’s most incredible seafood. One of the most important traditions Trabanco keeps alive is their dedication to the utilization of fermentation and storage in traditional large wood barrels, many of which are a century old. These massive barrels are the size of a small house and living inside each of them is a unique microclimate created by decades of natural yeast fermentation, which imparts an unmatched complexity in Trabanco cider.
