A REFERENCE BOOK ON CIDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
History of apples and cider
The book begins with the discovery of the first apple trees in Kazakhstan, before they were domesticated by Man. We then follow the history of cider up to the present day.
The elaboration of the cider
You will then dive into the magic of cider making and all the methods to make a great product. You will learn more about the different types of cider.
A world tour of ciders and their terroirs
This is the beating heart of the book! Through a world tour gathering a hundred cider makers in about thirty countries, you will discover the incredible diversity of ciders. La petite sommelière will accompany you to meet these personalities and their amazing stories, while tasting nectars that reflect their terroir and participate in the effervescence of the cider-making world.
Food and cider pairing
Thanks to the sommelier – chef duo, you will salivate while discovering perfect matches between ciders and gastronomic dishes. Great names have played the game, such as Thierry Marx and David Biraud in Paris, or Anne-Sophie Pic and Edmond Gasser in Lausanne.
Cider and cocktails
The mixologists are also part of the party and have prepared custom cocktails based on cider! Some of the world’s greatest bartenders, such as Esther Medina Cuesta, offer you 100% original creations.

Dominique Hutin, the Godfather of cider
We are lucky to have Dominique Hutin as the godfather of this edition on cider! This Norman cider maker is above all one of the journalist-chroniclers of the program “on va déguster” on France Inter (one of the main radio station in France). We couldn’t have dreamed of anything better! Thanks to him for his support and his involvement for the cider planet!
A big thank you to the Cider Museum in Switzerland who supported us for this book! If you’re ever in the area, go visit it.
