Pomologik: Pioneering the Swedish Cider Revolution
At the forefront of Sweden's burgeoning craft cider scene stands Pomologik, a collective driven by a singular mission: to redefine cider by showcasing the unparalleled potential of Nordic apples. Founded in 2017 by Johan Sjöstedt (Cidermaker & Pomologist), Oskar Palm (CFO & Co-founder), and Patrik Svensk (CEO & Sales Director), Pomologik is more than just a cidery; it's a movement built on authenticity, sustainability, and a profound respect for fruit.
In a market often saturated with industrial, sugar-laden "ciders" (many containing as little as 15% actual apple), Pomologik champions the concept of "real cider" – a beverage crafted exclusively from 100% fruit. Their philosophy mirrors that of fine winemaking: the apple is seen as the Nordic equivalent of the grape, capable of expressing distinct terroir and nuanced complexity.
Pomologik's commitment to low-intervention methods is unwavering. They rely on spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, allowing the true character of the apples to emerge. From wild apples gathered from abandoned plantations to carefully selected fruit from sustainable local growers, every apple is chosen for its quality and expressive potential. Their ciders are bottled unfined and unfiltered, often without added sulfites, ensuring a pure and vibrant taste experience.
Beyond their critically acclaimed Brut ciders, Pomologik explores innovation with styles like barrel-aged Foeder Ciders, experimental Replicant Series (fermented on wine grape skins), and refreshing alcohol-free options. This dedication to pushing boundaries while upholding traditional values has earned them numerous awards and a reputation as a leading force in the global craft cider community.
Pomologik is a testament to the idea that positive change stems from teamwork and a shared vision. They collaborate with local partners and actively work to connect producers with consumers through initiatives like the Nordic Craft Cider Festival. Discover Pomologik's ciders and experience the authentic, award-winning taste of Sweden's true apple heritage.
