Kupela Basque Cider - Natural Apple Cider from Basque Wild Apples Reviews

4.8 Rating 36 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Kupela is a natural Basque cider made from a blend of selected wild apples. The cider is produced using traditional methods, allowing the natural fermentation of the apples to transform sugars into alcohol. This results in a fresh and fruity cider with a balanced body and inviting taste, full of fresh apple aromas and sunny fruit notes. Basque cider houses are known for serving large portions of cider with their traditional menu, which often includes large txuleton steaks. Kupela Basque Cider should be served cool, between 10-12°C. Pour it from a height of about 30cm using a special cider pourer called 'escanciador'. This releases the carbon dioxide bubbles, creating texture and releasing the aromas and qualities of the cider.

This is an outstanding cider which, in my opinion, rates as one of the best ciders in the World. I would recommend this product!

Having lived in Asturias we were missing the cider. We thought the main difference between Asturian & Basque cider is the shape of the bottle, and this proved to be the case. This is a cider well balanced between appleyness and tartness. It came with a pouring spout but this was unnecessary as the bottles have an ingeniously designed "cork" which can be pushed back into the bottle to form a pourer.

Stunning. It even comes with a little pouring device to practice your technique! Would certainly recommend it for anyone who likes cider and fancies something unique.

Made the Chorizo in Cider from the recipes section on the website using Kupela and it was absolutely delicious - part of husbands 60th Birthday meal. Definitely worth buying and making this dish.

I have missed not being able to visit the Basque Country (the homeland of my late father) this year due to Covid19 so I was so happy to see that I could get traditional Basque cider delivered direct to my home. I was a little nervous at first as I had never had this cider before, but upon investigation I saw that the sideria was in Astigarraga, which is home to all the fine Basque ciders I have consumed over the years. I was not disappointed. I used a special bottle pourer to elevate the pour of the cider into a flat bottomed glass, this allows the natural carbonation. I found the cider perfect to my tasting, not too dry but not sweet. I quaffed the whole bottle over the course of the evening as it was so moorish and delicious. It goes really well with green olives! I'm sure my late father would have approved of this cider. 5 stars! Eskerrik asko Basco Fine Foods!
