About Ciderzale

Ciderzale

My name is Haritz Rodriguez, a.k.a. Ciderzale. I am a journalist, travel blogger at Tokitan and marketing consultant in my own company, Barking Blogs. I love crab apples. I feel identified with what they represent. They are wild, small and tough. Their roots are deep, and submerge to the very origin of the domestic apple. They have a small production, and often grow at the edges of the land.
I got into this business some years ago. I’m now marketing consultant in the cider industry and tourism fields. Before, I was just a consumer of Basque cider. Suddenly, I discovered a whole universe around the world and I became a cider enthusiast. Global sight from a local point of view.
In this blog you will find thoughts about cider, from the point of view of culture, tourism and marketing, as well as some cider reviews and my adventures as an amateur cider maker. Yes, I've even started to make my own homemade cider. We'll see where this project ends.

Topa! Yec’hed mat! Sláinte! Skål! Wassail! Prost! ¡Salud!
