Bulmer's Norman Cider Juice

A Bittersweet Built for the Blend, Pressed and Ready

Bulmer's Norman is a tried-and-true English bittersweet, developed by the Bulmers cider company and long valued for its reliable cropping and consistent juice quality. Medium in tannin and low in acidity, it produces a smooth, mellow juice that ferments cleanly and integrates beautifully in a blend — adding body and gentle sweetness without dominating the other varieties around it. It's the dependable foundation that every serious cider blend benefits from.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the variety at its peak. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or hold it until your next batch is ready.
