Storage advice

To optimally store Calvados and preserve its quality and shelf life follow these practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool environment with a stable temperature ideally between 55-60°F (13-15°C). Avoid exposing it to heat or temperature fluctuations as higher or inconsistent temperatures can degrade flavor.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and artificial bright light including UV rays and fluorescent lighting which can damage the spirit over time.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is airtight to prevent oxidation. If sealed with a cork confirm the cork remains intact and undamaged to maintain an effective seal.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Unlike wine storing Calvados upright prevents prolonged contact between the spirit and the cork reducing the risk of cork deterioration and oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels—ideally around 50% or below—to preserve cork integrity and avoid mold or cork drying that could compromise the seal.

- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened Calvados should still be sealed tightly and stored in the same cool dark conditions. Since exposure to air will eventually impact quality it is best consumed within a couple of years after opening to retain optimal flavor.

By adhering to these conditions—consistent cool temperature darkness airtight sealing upright bottle position and controlled humidity—you can effectively preserve Calvados for long-term enjoyment.
