Why is cider pasteurized?

Like any food product, cider can harbor bacteria and molds. These organisms can reduce the shelf life of the cider, allowing it to turn to vinegar. Sometimes these organisms can even make people sick. Large cider mills often pasteurize the cider (heat it to a certain temperature) to reduce the number of these organisms. If you buy unpasteurized cider, make sure to keep it refrigerated, and drink it promptly.

Cider mills

Technically, cider is not milled. The apples are pressed so that the juice runs out, is collected in a vat, and then put in a container. The pressed apples are called mash. Because the apples are pressed whole, the mash contains leaves, stems, peel, and the flesh of the fruit. This is usually discarded or composted, however, it is highly prized by deer and other animals who enjoy eating apples.
