Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co Ltd

Description

The Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co Ltd (formerly known as Broome Farm Cider) was formed in 2003 to manage the production and marketing of the cider and perry made at Broome Farm in Peterstow, near Ross-on-Wye in the traditional cider making county of Herefordshire.

Ciders

All cider and perry is made from 100% pure apple and pear juice pressed on the farm mainly from their own fruit – occasionally some different varieties of apples and pears from local farms are used out of interest to create a greater range of both single varieties and blends.

Ross Cider and Perry is available straight from the barrel direct from the cellar in 1 and 2 litre plastic bottles. 10 or 20 litre Bag-in-Boxes, similar to the well known wine boxes, are also available which prevent the spoiling of the cider and perry by excluding the air.

A range of pasteurised still and sparkling and naturally conditioned bottled ciders and perrys are also available from the Farm and from a range of local and other specialised retailers.
