Kvestad Issider from Kvestad Sideri is a dessert cider made using the special technique of freezing apple juice, which naturally enhances sweetness and aromatic intensity. It is crafted from Summerred, Aroma, and Gravenstein apples, varieties that together create a layered character.

The alcohol content ranges between 9 and 10%. On the nose and palate, it reveals notes of baked apples, caramelized fruit, and subtle spice, giving the cider both elegance and depth.

The texture is still, without carbonation, medium-bodied, and ends with a long, warm fruity finish. Visually, it is distinguished by clear golden tones and crystal clarity.

Issider is most often served as a dessert cider, pairing perfectly with robust cheeses, fruit cakes, and creamy pastries, though it can also be enjoyed as a refined aperitif. This cider is a fine example of how the traditions and terroir of Hardanger can be transformed into a drink of high elegance and collectible value.
