Sidra El Gaitero cider

Sidra El Gaitero is one of the most iconic alcoholic beverages from Spain, hailing from the Asturias region, which is world-renowned for its apple culture. The brand was established in the late 19th century in Villaviciosa by the company Valle, Ballina y Fernández. Traditionally known for its sparkling cider, the company revolutionized the industry by creating a product that could travel long distances without losing its quality, allowing it to reach Spanish emigrants in Latin America and beyond.

Today, the brand remains under the control of the original founding family company, maintaining its historical production facilities in Asturias. These facilities span over 40,000 square meters and include historical cider mills combined with modern industrial technology. The product is deeply tied to its geographical roots, often carrying the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) 'Sidra de Asturias', which guarantees that the apples used are grown locally and following traditional methods.
