Welcome to my calvados site!
This site is a practical guide for spirit enthusiasts to discover more about calvados - the apple brandy. It is also a practical visiting guide to Calvados - the region of Normandy, France.
Calvados is one of the best kept secrets in the world of fine spirits. Normandy attracts visitors worldwide, for holidays and vacations.
This site is a first in comprehensive reporting in English on the facts, the history, the myths and secrets as well as the calvados-producing regions and their towns. Calvados apple brandy is carefully distilled in Normandy from dry cider made from special apple varieties, aged in French Oak barrels then blended and bottled for the connoisseur.
As a seasoned expert, Henrik Mattsson describes calvados houses and co-operatives who welcome visitors (and speak English!). He also tells you how to find fine accommodation: hotels, B&B’s or chambres d’hôtes; good restaurants, plus interesting places to visit.
