Eivind Vangdal has been at the centre of the fantastic development of the cider industry in Hardanger and all of Norway. As a researcher and consultant, he has worked closely with cider producers to gather experience and knowledge of local and international ciders.

The book is for those who want to become a part of the cider industry, or if you want better cider for private use, or if you want to know more about what Norwegian cider is and how it is made. This is not a scientific book – it is based just as much on experience and opinions locally and internationally. The author's own opinions are sometimes highlighted.
