Del aguardiente de sidra al calvados. La palabra «calvados», despojada de la mención de aguardiente que la acompañaba hasta entonces, hace su aparición en la década de 1880, en novelas y cuentos de Flaubert, Zola y Maupassant.
El calvados es un aguardiente con Appellation d'origine contrôlée o AOC (Denominación de Origen Controlada), que se obtiene por destilación de la sidra y es producido exclusivamente en la región de Normandía, Francia.

Calvados is a type of brandy or eau-de-vie that is named after its home region in Normandy. Unlike most other celebrated French brandies like cognac and Armagnac , calvados is made from apple cider rather than wine.
Calvados is a wonderfully flavoursome base spirit in cocktail recipes, particularly with young calvados that retain the fresh, crisp notes of apple with less tannic oak influence.
