We are offering frozen cider apple juice pails! This pail is comprised of juice from heirloom apples that were specifically grown for making hard cider.
Airlie Red Flesh is a remarkable Oregon apple, prized for its striking pink-to-red flesh and distinctive tart flavor. Also known as Hidden Rose and Mountain Rose, this variety originated as a chance seedling in Oregon's Willamette Valley and offers something particularly exciting for cider makers: naturally occurring red pigments that can produce a beautiful rosé color without blending in red wine grapes or adding other coloring ingredients. Its bright acidity makes it especially well suited to cider production, providing freshness and balance while its red flesh offers the potential for delicate pink hues and an appealing fruit character. Unlike many traditional cider apples, Airlie Red Flesh is not particularly tannic, making it a natural candidate for a fresh, vibrant style of rosé cider. The depth of color will depend on pressing and fermentation techniques, but the opportunity to produce a naturally pink cider entirely from Oregon-grown apples makes this an especially intriguing variety.
