H.P. Bulmer is a long-established English cider manufacturer. From traditional beginnings in the 19th century it is now the largest cider brand in the UK. The company played an active role in the development of English cider, including investing in orchards, production techniques and different varieties. Bulmers Norman is one of their "in-house" varieties, although as the name suggests it almost certainly originates from the region of Normandy in France.
