Storage advice
For optimal storage of Calvados follow these practical recommendations specifically tailored to preserve its quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool stable environment ideally between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Avoid temperatures above 20°C as heat can cause the spirit’s flavor to degrade and become bitter while too cold can inhibit flavor development.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light as exposure to light can deteriorate flavor and color.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is airtight with a well-fitting cork or cap to minimize oxidation. The cork must remain moist to prevent shrinkage and oxygen ingress; this is especially important for unopened bottles.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright not on their sides. Unlike wine Calvados should not be stored horizontally because the spirit’s higher alcohol content can degrade the cork if exposed constantly to the liquid.
- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level of around 60% to 70%. This range helps keep the cork moist without encouraging mold. Too low humidity can dry out the cork leading to oxidation and too high can cause mold or cork failure.
- Special Storage Tips:
- For unopened bottles the above conditions preserve the Calvados for many years. Keeping them in a temperature- and humidity-controlled cabinet or cellar is ideal.
- For opened bottles tightly reseal after use and store upright in a cool dark place. The spirit is fairly stable once opened but prolonged exposure to air can gradually dull flavor so consume within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 1-2 years after opening) for best quality.
Following these guidelines ensures Calvados maintains its aroma flavor integrity and prevents premature deterioration.
