LOL....Yep, sorta'. Apple juice here is highly processed. Apple Cider is simply pressed apples but often pasteurized. We have a place locally where the guy makes it the old way and just presses the apples and bottles it up unpasteurized. He uses a popular Ohio apple, the Melrose, a delicious cross of the Delicious and Jonathan that has broad usages from just eating to baking, cider, and apple sauce and apple butter....a really GREAT apple!
