Welcome to Ølmheim siderhage

Norwegian handcrafted cider in the heart of Sogn

  • About us

    We are Sigrid and Endre, and we make handcrafted ciders in Sogn.

    In the steep slopes along the Sognefjord, there are fantastic opportunities for fruit cultivation. And in just such a place, you’ll find Ølmheim siderhage. The farm has been in the Ølmheim family for well over 300 years. We’ve always grown fruit, but now it’s served in bottles.

    Norway has the best apples in the world, and that flavor is what we want to share with you. In Ølmheim’s cider garden, it will be pressed, tapped, and fermented - and finally, enjoyed!

Our ciders

We create modern, natural, and dry ciders. We add nothing else except yeast to our ciders; the apple speaks for itself! In 2023 we offer three different ciders.

Tradisjonell metode (traditional method / champagne method)

Dry 2022
Apple: Gravenstein
6,5 % alcohol

Second-fermented in the bottle and aged for 12 months on yeast. Natural bubbles from fermentation. Flavors of apples, apple peel, pear, tropical fruit, fermentation aromas, and aging aromas. Crisp in style and dry.

PÉT NAT

Apple: Discovery
6 % alcohol

Tart and dry cider. Bottled and finished fermentation in the bottle, resulting in natural bubbles. It is lightly disgorged, which gives it a slightly cloudy appearance. Fresh in style with flavors of apples, citrus, and fermentation aromas.

All our ciders can be purchased directly at the orchard during opening hours.

Stille sider (still cider)

Apple: Discovery
5 % alcohol

Tart and dry cider. Without bubbles, and with a balance between acidity and sweetness. Flavors of freshly picked apples, citrus, and pears.
