Even the humble pear gotta have terroir

Everyberry is talking terroir these days. This time it’s the humble pear from Kopparberg, Sweden. Taken from their multimedia smörgåsbord of a website:

Kopparberg cider is only made using the finest fruit and the unique naturally occuring soft water from the local Kopparberg well. The softness is due to a low mineral content which allows the natural taste of the fruit to come through unaltered. Our water is so precious that Kopparberg cider will never be made anywhere else.
