{"product_id":"sidra","title":"Sidrería Señorita","description":"\u003cp\u003eSidrería Señorita, Chile’s first bar dedicated entirely to cider, offers this beverage on tap, along with a variety of options to sample ciders from across the southern region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSidrería Señorita opened in the summer of 2025 as Chile’s first dedicated cider bar. Located on Moctezuma Street—just steps from the bus terminal and the waterfront along the Calle Calle River—the bar is open three days a week, from Thursday to Saturday. It serves as both a venue for discovering diverse southern cider styles and a retail shop where customers can purchase the product. The venture is led by Dominga del Campo and Elisita Balbontín, who produce their own cider in Tralkao, north of the city, using apples sourced from historic local orchards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything begins with the apple. Valdivia is a city surrounded by apple trees. Over the years, unique local varieties emerged—distinct from those originally brought from Europe—such as the *cabeza de niño* (\"child’s head\"), which is larger than any apple found in a supermarket. Other varieties include the *puchacay* and the *reineta*. There are countless names, but the queen of them all is the *limona*. Small, yellowish, juicy, and acidic, it is the most recognizable of the region’s heirloom apples and the primary ingredient in many of the ciders produced in the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reflects the approach of a new generation of cider makers, who have introduced modern branding and a range of ciders categorized into \"still\" (non-carbonated) and sparkling varieties. The house offers three signature ciders: Señorita Isla, Petit Rosé, and Señorita Cahuincura. The first of these blends various apple varieties in a \"New World\" style—a term used for ciders that have had carbonation added. Señorita Cahuincura originates from Quinta Cahuincura in San José de la Mariquina—a property that once housed a *chichería* (a traditional cider or fermented fruit-beverage workshop) and now grows at least half a dozen apple varieties, including Reineta, Candelaria, Northern Spice, Limona, Fierro, Cabeza de Niño, and Plátano, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond their own offerings, the shop stocks over twenty other labels from across Chile—ranging from Punucapa’s *Tierra Negra* to the ciders of Della Chá, a producer with more than eighteen years of experience. When they first started, 60% of Señorita’s production was sent to Santiago; however, with the opening of their bar, they decided to keep their stock for their own establishment. For non-drinkers, there is a house-made, bottled cooked-apple juice with distinct notes reminiscent of fruit compote, and for those with more particular tastes, there are also beers from the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind us at:\u003cbr\u003e@sidreria_senorita\u003cbr\u003e@sidrasenorita\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALMA MATER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53026428682560,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/9126\/6368\/files\/Capturadepantalla2026-09-29ala_s_10.23.23a.m..png?v=1791488776","url":"https:\/\/www.almamaterexpo.cl\/en\/products\/sidra","provider":"ALMA MATER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
