As winter settles across the Northern Hemisphere ❄️, it feels good to slow down, warm up, and share simple comforts.

At Avallen, that might mean a warming cocktail paired with a delicious Calvados-laced apple crumble 🍎✨

Here’s to cold nights, shared tables, and a warm, generous New Year’s Eve!

Calvados brandy: sustainable spirit thanks to its orchards - Calvados France With its 3 million apple trees, Calvados embodies a sustainable tradition. Discover how its orchards have been preserving the environment and Normandy for five centuries.

Today is #WorldSoilDay!

For us, everything begins in the living soils of Normandy's orchards. Rich clay, chalk and silt sit beneath hedgerows & apple trees, storing carbon, holding water & supporting incredible biodiversity, from microbes to pollinators!
