The contest was born as a modest initiative to recognize the production of domestic and family cider, a practice deeply rooted in the council and of singular quality.
Today the contest is consolidated as an initiative within the framework of activities promoted by the City of Villaviciosa, in collaboration with various entities and individuals, aimed at the enhancement of the apple and cider, identity products for excellence, as well as economic resources .
