Storage advice
For optimal storage of Calvados follow these practical guidelines specifically tailored to preserve its quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store Calvados in a consistently cool environment between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Temperatures above this range can cause flavor degradation due to alcohol concentration increases while colder environments might inhibit flavor development.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or UV light. Exposure to light can cause chemical changes and spoil the spirit’s flavor.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity level of about 60% to 70%. Adequate humidity prevents the cork from drying out and shrinking which would allow air to enter and oxidize the spirit. Too high humidity may cause mold growth or cork deterioration so balance is critical.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to keep the cork moist but avoid prolonged contact with the liquid. Unlike wine spirits like Calvados generally benefit from upright storage to protect the cork and prevent seepage or contamination.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed and airtight to minimize oxidation especially for opened bottles. Oxygen exposure after opening can alter the flavor over time.
- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened consume within a reasonable timeframe (ideally within two years) to avoid gradual deterioration. Always reseal the bottle tightly and keep it stored under the same conditions to slow oxidation.
By following these recommendations—cool dark moderately humid upright and airtight—you will maintain Calvados' quality and flavor integrity for both unopened and opened bottles.
