- Francecountry of origin
Calvados is distilled from cider, and that cider from apples, sometimes dozens of varieties mixed together, most of which are far too sour or too bitter simply to eat. It is precisely those varieties that give the spirit its character.
The designations resemble those of cognac: Fine or VS spends at least two years in oak, VSOP four and XO six years or more. The longer, the less apple and the more nut and caramel.
In Normandy it is traditionally served in the middle of a long meal, as the trou normand, to make room for the next course.
The trou normand: a small glass of calvados halfway through dinner, to make room.
