Success of the Asturian cider mills in the V SISGA

The SISGA’15 Awards settled among the most prestigious prizes internationally with a very important participation both regarding quality and a jury composed by 15 members of different countries.

THE CIDER- An international jury composed by representatives of the participant cider mills and 3 peope designed by LA SIDRA was the chosen one to score the participant ciders and head the awards of the V SISGA.

It is to be highlighted the high wuality of the presented products, which made things difficult to the jury under the leadership of Manuel G. Busto, while assessing which were the best ciders, getting some very tight scores.

Likewise the role of Asturian cider was quite good, especially if we remember that of the 15 members of the jury, only 3 were Asturians, so it leaves much more than clear the objetivity while voting. The Cider Mills Cortina, Mayador, Panizales, Viuda de Angelón, Casería San Juan del Obispo and Norniella were the awarded Asturian cider mills in the V SISGA, which gives an idea of the range in which the Asturian cider is in.
