Storage advice

For optimal storage of Calvados including both unopened and opened bottles follow these practical guidelines:

- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool stable environment ideally between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F) with a recommended range of 7°C to 13°C (45°F to 55°F) also acceptable. Avoid temperature fluctuations or extremes to prevent deterioration or oxidation of flavors.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and bright artificial light sources. Light exposure can heat the bottle and degrade the spirit’s quality over time.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxidation and evaporation. For opened bottles recork promptly or use a vacuum stopper if possible.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to prevent the cork from drying out or soaking. Unlike wine which may be stored on the side to keep the cork moist Calvados is best kept standing to avoid cork degradation and oxidation risk.

- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 60% to 70% to keep cork integrity intact and prevent flavor loss. Low humidity can dry out corks while excessive humidity above 70% could lead to mold issues.

- Special Tips:
- For opened bottles consider transferring remaining Calvados to a smaller airtight container to reduce air exposure and store in a cool area. Refrigeration is not necessary but can help preserve quality if you don't plan to consume it soon.
- Avoid storing Calvados in the kitchen or places with temperature variations or heat sources.

By following these recommendations the Calvados will maintain its quality and shelf life effectively for years in unopened form and for at least a couple of years once opened.
