The apples for Chauffe Couer Calvados are harvested, pressed and fermented into cider by varieties and then aged for 10 months or more. Also, according to the old family recipe, the Chauffe Coeur Calvados is a blend made of single distilled and double distilled Calvados and therefore it has to lose the Pays d’Auge appellation for which all the Calvados have to be double distilled by law.
