Page "Perry" Paragraph 21

CAMRA defines perry and pear cider as quite different drinks, stating that " pear cider " as made by the large industrial cidermakers is merely a pear-flavoured drink, or more specifically a cider-style drink flavoured with pear concentrate, whereas " perry " should be made by traditional methods from perry pears only.

( It should be noted that Brothers, Bulmers and other pear ciders are made from pear concentrate, often imported.

) Others, including the National Association of Cider Makers, on the other hand, insist that the terms perry and pear cider are interchangeable.

Its own rules specify that perry or pear cider may contain no more than 25 % apple juice.
