Since the 1800s, the Camut family has grown 115 acres of 4,000 apple trees in the Pays d'Auge. It was Adrien Camut who perfected the family’s distillation methods using different pot stills, the eldest from the 1920s and the most recent from 1975. While pears are allowed in Calvados, only apples grown in the Camut orchards are used in Camut Calvados.
