The Authentic Cider Trustmark’s three core pillars are traceability, authenticity and integrity. Ciders trace their apples back to a specific orchard region. Cidermakers embrace honest labelling and have direct onsite control and involvement in operations, and they produce cider with 100% fresh pressed apple juice and wine-like fermentation.

To meet the Authentic Cider Trustmark criteria, cidermakers must be independent. Their end-to-end onsite processes guarantee full traceability and quality control. This includes pressing, production and packaging.

Bulwark ciders are proudly made from 100% freshly pressed apple juice, slowly fermented and bottled onsite.
