We’re committed to crafting authentic cider using only the finest, locally sourced ingredients. We don’t use concentrates or add sugar to our cider, as we believe that these shortcuts compromise the true flavour and quality of our product.
Instead, we rely on traditional methods of cider making that involve pressing fresh, handpicked apples and fermenting them slowly to produce a natural, full-bodied flavour that speaks for itself.
Keeping it Real
At The Hills Cider Company, we strive to bring you the true taste of real, handcrafted Australian cider. Our passion for traditional cider making starts with sourcing fresh, locally grown cider apples from trusted growers who share our love for authentic cider. Crafting cider is an art, and we’re committed to ensuring that every bottle of Hills Cider embodies that art. From pressing the apples to bottling the finished product, we’re involved in every step of the process.
Our journey begins with sourcing the perfect blend of fruit from local apple and pear growers who share our passion. The right blend of fruit is critical to producing an authentic cider, and we take great care to only use fresh, handpicked apples and pears, and select varietals that deliver a full-bodied, natural flavour to create our cider.
Real Apples, Real Cider
We believe that sourcing our fruit sustainably is essential to reducing our environmental impact and supporting our local community. That’s why we work closely with local growers who share our commitment to sustainable agriculture and use practices that prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and natural pest control. We also prioritise sourcing apples that might be considered “ugly” or not visually perfect, which helps to reduce food waste and support sustainable agriculture.
