Michelin is a traditional French hard cider apple variety producing a medium bittersweet juice. Its juice is aromatic, dark and very plentiful because the apples are incredibly juicy.

The Michelin apple was around in France in the late 1700s. Cider apple varieties tend to remain in use primarily in their area of origin but Michelin was imported to England in 1872 and became popular for its ability to produce buckets of juice that could be used to bulk out some of the less prolific croppers like Kingston Black.
