The harvest has been “historic”, as they have advanced, since the producers of the Euskal Sagardoa denomination of origin have collected 5 million kilos of apples, three times more than last year. They have produced 3.5 million liters of cider with the harvest.
The cider houses of Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia and Álava will begin to open their doors this week. Sector managers will announce this Tuesday the protocol that will govern the establishments and more information about their situation, but as they have advanced to eitb.eus, they are “optimistic” because the “outlook is better” than last year. Not surprisingly, in 2021 they could not open at night, and this year they will.
In addition, last year citizens had restricted mobility, and it was impossible to move from one town to another. In any case, the cider houses will have to adapt the protocol to the health situation, and consumption must be established, they have warned.
The sector handles “good” data, as they have advanced. The harvest has been “historic”, since the producers of the Euskal Sagardoa denomination of origin (500 hectares) have collected 5 million kilos of apples, three times more than last year. They have produced 3.5 million liters of cider with the harvest.
Last year it seems that it was quite scarce, but this year the apple trees have completed their natural cycle and “it has been” a good apple year, the producers have explained. In addition, new apple orchards have entered production, which tend to be more “productive”, they added.
