Hardanger Apples and Norwegian Cider

Specialised

Fruit growing on the inner fjord shelves of HARDANGER, Sogn and Telemark, begun by Cistercian monks in the Middle Ages and thriving because the deep water moderates the frost and the long northern day concentrates the sugars. Apples, pears, plums, cherries and morello; apple juice and preserves; and since 2000 a serious cider industry, with SIDER FRÅ HARDANGER holding a protected designation.
