Avallen Calvados

Avallen, which means ‘apple tree’ in Old Cornish, is a delicious Calvados that gives bees a boost and is genuinely sustainable.

Avallen is a fresh, vibrant and apple forward Calvados (a traditional cider brandy made from apples) and produced under strict rules in Normandy, France. It is made without sugar, caramel or boisé (a wood extract sometimes used to add colour to Calvados) – literally just good old apples and water – before being aged in French oak barrels for at least two years.

Discover the delightfully sustainable and bee-friendly Avallen Calvados, a brand dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. As part of the 1% for the Planet movement, Avallen donates to organizations that support bee conservation and growth, with a commitment to planting over 10,000 wildflowers in the next three years. 

What sets Avallen Calvados apart is its authentic and natural production process. Using only the purest ingredients – locally-sourced apples and water – the brand stays true to its eco-conscious ethos by avoiding additives like sugar, caramel, or boisé. The aging process adds depth to the drink’s character, with a minimum of two years spent in French oak barrels.

Emphasizing its commitment to sustainability, Avallen utilizes innovative packaging, including labels printed on recycled apple pulp paper. These green initiatives have earned Avallen the prestigious Green Launch of the Year 2019 title at the Drinks Business Green Awards and the Best Company 2020 accolade at the Sustainability in Spirits Awards.
