*Angry Orchard found a unique, red flesh apple in Brittany, France that contributes to the cider’s bright apple flavor and rosy hue.*

Red fleshed apples have been around for hundreds of years although the public awareness of them has really taken off in the last 5 years or so. At our orchard, Hocking Hills Orchard, 250 of our 1,600 apple varieties are red fleshed.

Almost all, if not all, red fleshed varieties are derived from Niedzweckyana which originated in Kazakstan.

It’s a blend of rare high-acid cider apples with vinifera grapes. With strong aromatics of strawberries and lilac, it is full of berry notes blanced with crisp acidity, and has a round, creamy finish. I’m not a fan of “additives” to apples in cider, but this one is refreshing and totally delicious!
