Sweet cider apples are essential varieties in the creation of cider, bringing a richness in sugar that promotes a harmonious fermentation and a round and delightful aromatic profile. With a low tannin content and moderate acidity, they play a key role in balancing blends and in the production of mellow or semi-dry ciders. Their high sugar content allows for a naturally high alcohol content after fermentation, while their low bitterness and natural sweetness make them an ideal choice for fruity and accessible ciders. The contribution of these apples in a cider allows for controlled fermentation and adds a characteristic roundness appreciated by a wide audience.

In this category, there are several iconic varieties, each with specific features influencing the final cider profile. Some of these varieties are particularly valued for their ability to balance flavors and offer a pleasant sweetness without excessive acidity.
