The awards for the Best First Cider of the Year is the only contest that has as protagonist the cider without any blending and has an economic prize – 1.000 €. That is why it got to be one of the contest of reference of our traditional beverage.
For eight years now LA SIDRA and Asturies XXI Foundation have been working for the recovery of this kind of cider, almost lost due to the industrialization of the cider mills and the general use of blending. Each time are more the cider mills who decide to sell this kind of cider and to participate in the contest.
