Growing apples in carafes : an unusual pastime shared by the Drouin and Alleaume families - amusing and tasty !
Every year in the spring the Alleaumes, apple-growers, hang between 10,000 and 20,000 carafes in the trees of their orchards near Gonneville-sur-Honfleur.
Four or five months later the carafes containing ripe apples are taken down, washed, and filled with calvados by the Drouin family.
The flavours of fruit mingle with those of the spirit to produce the most fruity of all calvados. Despite more than 30 years of experience only 40% on average of the carafes hung up are fit for sale.
«The first year our success rate was only 5% ! It wasn't 0%, so we decided to persevere
