PORTLAND, OR - Okanagan Specialty Fruits® (OSF) recently announced that its Endless Orchard™ cider brand was honored with two prestigious awards. The brand, which uses Arctic® apple varieties in its drinks, was named Best New Cidery of the Year at the Northwest Cider Cup Awards and received a Gold Medal for its Boundless Blueberry Basil flavor.
"Arctic apples offer a unique non-browning trait, and the result is a cider that is in a class of its own and provides a truly one-of-a-kind drinking experience," explained Don Westcott, President of OSF. "Endless Orchard leverages that advantage and reflects our continued sustainability commitment and our goal to increase apple utilization.”
The brand offers six different flavors using Arctic Goldens, Arctic Grannys, and Arctic Fujis varieties.
According to a press release, Endless Orchard Cider's commitment to excellence and innovation continues to enhance its unique position in the cider industry.
"These two awards are a testament to our team's passion for crafting high-quality ciders that showcase the unique flavors and attributes of Arctic apple varieties," said Vicki Daigneault, General Manager of Endless Orchard Cider. "We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized with these accolades. I am so proud to see how far our team has come in such a short period of time, especially considering we only officially launched our tasting room last month."
