Hi there, today we share a cider story of Krzysztof Winnicki, the founder of Cydr Jab\u0142kowy. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Away from the hustle and bustle of Warsaw, in beautiful natural circumstances: on the edge of Zegrzy\u0144ski Lake, right on the River Narew is someone who has known and appreciates the taste of cider for a long time. What’s more – he produces it from his own fruit (from real apple must) and the flavour old apples inspired him to create a unique cider \u2013 Cydr Jab\u0142kowy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Krzysztof\u2019s family has been associated with fruit-growing for two generations: his grandfather was one of the first fruit farmers in the village; later his father continues this tradition and so Krzysztof does.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He was interested in making juice. The popularity of juices not from concentrate grew from year to year in Poland. Then Krzysztof started to reading about making cider and decided to give it a go. He started experimenting with different types of apples: his first ciders were made from pasteurized juice; next ones made from the unpasteurized must. He also mixed apples and pears. After weeks of experiments and mistakes, he got the right proportions and apples. Then Krzysztof registered a company. He ferments his ciders in the neighbourly vineyard (due to complicated Polish cider law)<\/p>\n

He also tried his hand in making ice cider. \u201cI wanted to do something difficult and rare. Honestly, this cider was created by accident<\/em>\u201d \u2013 said Krzysztof. Luckily, he has apples in his orchards which are suitable for ice cider. The process of ice cider production was laborious due to the lack of knowledge. It was like a walking in the fog without any clue. He decided to take a risk and started producing cider by the seat of his pants. Moreover, he forgot about his cider and fermentation for a half of year and after six months he realized that he has to put cider into bottles. \u201cThis cider tastes great<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 says Krzysztof.<\/p>\n

Then he decided to take part in cider competition in Spain.\u00a0 The organizer of the competition \u2013 International Cider Competition by Sagardo Forum found him on Instagram and invited to join. Krzysztof sent three ciders and it turned out that<\/p>\n

each cider won a prize.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now he sells four ciders:<\/p>\n
