Paul Presents
Nick Edwards is the owner of Ciderniks in Kintbury, and he has come into Paul Presents to chat about cider making, his consultancy businesses and more…..
Nick’s Ciders, Apple Juice and Cider Vinegar are all
made from 100% pure apple juice
The history of cider goes back many hundreds of years, and cider can be one of the purest alcoholic drinks available – at its simplest, pure apple juice can be left to be fermented to cider using only the natural yeasts found on the fruit and in the juice.
This method may produce an eminently drinkable cider but also faces the risk of infection of the fermenting juice by airborne bacteria and an unreliable fermentation due caused by weaknesses in the natural yeast.
To counter these natural hazards and to ensure a reliable fermentation, a variety of additives may be used, and although the range of additives allowed is controlled by legislation in the UK, some ciders, especially some of the large commercial brands found in many pubs, may contain a bewildering list of ingredients to produce a consistent product year after year.
Real cider is made the traditional way that has been used for hundreds of years and can be made by anybody, even using the most rudimentary equipment.

Their apartments are situated in the centre of the village, in Les Terrasses de La Rosière.
It is an easy walk to the ski slopes (2 minutes) and to the centre of the village (50 metres).
La Rosière is a small, friendly and well catered ski resort in the Haute Tarentaise, Savoie region of France.
The village differs from most other ski resorts in that it is south facing and sited on a plateau, rather than in the bottom of a valley.
The resort is high at 1850m which, along with its aspect, gives fantastic views both up and down the Isère valley.
La Rosière is on the opposite side of the valley to Les Arcs with Arc 2000, Arc 1950 and Mont Pourri clearly visible.
La Rosière holds the French snow record for a ski resort due, it is said, to the proximity of Mont Blanc.
It is also one of France’s sunniest resorts (La Rosière Tourist Office literature says it receives the
same amount of sun, on average, as Carcassone!).
La Rosière is a very friendly, safe, family- orientated resort offering good piste skiing as well as great off-piste and ski-touring opportunities.
La Rosière connects with the Italian resort of La Thuile, giving an extensive ski area, “l’Espace San Bernardo”, over, and on both sides of, the Little St Bernard Pass.
