Ciders of the World: Spanish Sidra
Lifelong Learning

Northern Spain's Asturias and Basque Country are known for their unique style of cider and wine, with both deeply ingrained in the culture of food and local traditions. Sharp notes, from slightly to boldly sour acetic qualities are indicative of the region's cider traditions. You'll learn about the tradition of TXOTX--the region's season of celebration for the year's new sidras aged in large wooden casks--and how the "long pour" affects the immediate consumption of the non-carbonated cider, all while tasting through representative samples of the style.
