Aspall Cyder Limited (known as Tudortyne Limited from Jun–July 1986 and Aspall Cider Limited from July–September 1986)[1] is a manufacturer of cider and other apple derived products. Its cidery is located at Aspall Hall in the village of Aspall, Suffolk, England. It was bought by Molson Coors in 2018.
History
editThe business was originally established in the early-18th century. Production was based on apple trees initially introduced for the use of the Chevalliers of Aspall Hall, the owners of the estate, from their native Jersey. In 1946, the company was a founding member of the Soil Association.
In addition to cider, Aspall also produce an unfermented apple juice, organic apple cider vinegar and apple-based balsamic vinegar. The company also imports and markets: Spanish red wine vinegar and white wine vinegar, and an Italian organic balsamic vinegar.
In 2018, Aspall was bought by the Molson Coors brewing company, ending 290 years of independently owned manufacturing.[2]
In a January 2019 BBC interview, Aspall manager Dale Scott revealed a £10 million investment plan to improve the site's facilities. Improvements would include a new processing building, weighbridge for vehicles and extra storage tanks.[3]
