Martinelli \u0026amp; Company was founded in 1868 in Watsonville, California, nestled in the Pajaro Valley near Monterey Bay. The cider is made from a blend of apple varieties — including the prized Newtown Pippin — that are thoroughly washed, hand-sorted, ground to pulp, and cold-pressed. The sparkling version undergoes a distinctive process: the juice is carbonated, cold-filled into bottles, capped, then slowly pasteurized and cooled in the bottle, preserving a fine, persistent effervescence. The formula contains no water, no concentrates, no added sweeteners, no chemical preservatives, and no artificial flavors — a claim few competitors in the category can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh-pressed apple dominates immediately, followed by a subtle floral lift and a faint honeyed sweetness.

Roasted turkey or glazed ham mirror its sweet-tart profile, making it a Thanksgiving staple. Pork chops with apple chutney echo the cider's fruit character. Warm apple pie or cinnamon-spiced pastries create a harmonious dessert pairing. Brie or Camembert with crackers rounds out the richness with the cider's acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Martinelli's Sparkling Cider come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Martinelli's Sparkling Cider is available in multiple formats, including 8.4 fl oz, 10 fl oz, 25.4 fl oz (750ml), and 1.5L bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Martinelli's Sparkling Cider worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Martinelli's positions as a premium non-alcoholic sparkling cider, and its 100% fresh-pressed juice with no concentrates or additives justifies its slight price premium over competitors that use reconstituted juice — particularly for special occasions where presentation and quality matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Martinelli's Sparkling Cider?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver 155 years of continuous production by a single family-owned company gives Martinelli's a heritage few beverage brands can claim. The commitment to 100% fresh-pressed apples with no water, concentrates, or artificial ingredients is not merely a marketing distinction — it directly shapes the cider's noticeably richer, more authentic apple flavor. More than 50 gold medals across international competitions, stretching from Sacramento in 1890 to modern-day expositions, validate the consistency of the product. For anyone seeking a non-alcoholic sparkling option that holds its own alongside champagne at the table, this remains the benchmark in its category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martinelli's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836711301289,"sku":"7021","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/martinellis_sparkling_cider__77709.jpg?v=1730467416"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/martinelli-s.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
