- No. Calvados is a cider or perry eau-de-vie and not an apple or pear eau-de-vie — i.e. it is obtained from fruit that has already been fermented. It is dependent on the terroir, the varieties harvested, their quality and quantity, and the nature of the cider or perry made from these fruits.

Sep 21, 2023 · Calvados with the Pays d’Auge label must undergo double distillation in a copper pot still, which creates a rich profile and mouthfeel.

Aug 10, 2023 · An apple brandy from France, like cognac, calvados is a strictly regional product – it can only be made in Normandy (although it's enjoyed all over the world). Calvados starts as cider (made using apples but also sometimes pears) that is then distilled into a clear spirit – eau-de-vie.

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. Occasionally, it can also be made from pear cider or perry as well.
Young calvados should have fresh fruit aromas reminiscent of apples and pears. As calvados is aged so the distinctive apple fruit character becomes more subdued and the flavour becomes more reminiscent of other aged brandies.
