=== Lambic Aging and Blending ===
De Cam ages their lambic in 40 x 1000 L oak barrels recoopered from barrels sourced from Pilsner Urquell. These barrels, the oldest of which date back to Napoleonic times, were initially lined in pitch which had to be scraped off before the barrels could be used for aging lambic. De Cam produces Oude Lambiek (a 3 year old unblended lambic), Oude [[Gueuze|Geuze]], Kriekenlambiek (unblended cherry lambic), Framboise Lambiek (unblended raspberry lambic), Oude Kriek (blended and carbonated cherry lambic), Lambiek Special (lambic with 35% Cherriessour cherries, Gooseberries gooseberries and Blackberriesblackberries), and occasionally a faro. Kriek (1500 L lambic plus 1000 kg whole cherries) and framboise (30 kg raspberries for 100 L of framboise) ferment in stainless steel vessels.
