Celestino Cortina Cuadra was the founder of Sidra Cortina in the area of Amandi, giving impetus and betting on the production of cider in 1952, when there was still little market outside Asturias. Son Eloy extended the bet when he took over the reins at the age of 20, after his father’s premature death, and modernized the production line. Today the third generation is deepening the footsteps of the ancestors, taking production in a traditional style and innovating with the introduction of ecological practices. The autochthonous apple varieties Blanquina, Carrió, Clara, Collaos, Coloradona, De la Riega, Durona de Tresali, Ernestina, Fuentes, Limón Montés, Meana, Panquerina, Perezosa, Perico, Prieta, Raxao, Regona, San Roqueña, Solarina, Theoretical , Verdialonoa and Xuanina are handcrafted with transfers made during a waning moon following family tradition. The result is a cider with a strong bond with the territory of Amandi and a very unique taste, in an oxidative and lively profile.
