Description
Nestled in the Holme Valley lies The Pure North Cider Press. Producing the finest natural cider from a blend of traditional cider apples. Fermented naturally and full of anti-oxidants, our ciders are lovingly nurtured, pressed by hand and delivered with care.

Our apples are picked and processed on site. We use a carefully chosen blend of cider apples and we feel this gives the cider a better flavour.
Our cider can be cloudy – that’s because it is naturally produced and full of goodness. The apple orchard at Pure North has been prepared and newly planted to produce the very best cider apples.

During 2012 we will be expanding our range of ciders to include dry, bottle conditioned champagne style ciders and oak aged ciders. In addition we will be offering pure apple and pear juice fresh pressed and flash pasturised.
