Cider made with Cheddar in Mind
A collaboration between Cellarman Sam & Tom Oliver
Herefordshire, where Oliver's is based, is a region that knows good cheese, and it's a natural combination, one well known to cider makers & dating back centuries - drinking their ciders with the local cheeses. This collaboration was born to celebrate and champion the British countryside, and pay respect to the quality makers it holds; being blended specifically to pair with farmhouse cheddar.
The return of a much loved collaboration, this iteration has elevated alcohol with good hint of barrel. Layered and complex cider with soft tannins, juicy orange and tropical fruit, barrel and vanilla with a full and long lasting taste.

Bottle split at the CBJ tasting, thanks to Fergus, 27/11/24. Hazed orange with a decent off white cap as it goes for a cider, that fades in time. Nose is funky apple, caramel, vinous strains, hay bale. Taste comprises bitter sweet apples, tannins, orchard wood, funk, faint acidic kiss. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Solid Cider.

Sample at the RB CBJ Bottleshare 27/11/2024 Tart and sweet apple fruity, getting some real almost cheese twang which is pretty amazing, medium body and acidity, could imagine this pairs with cheese well, great stuff.

750ml bottle from Fine Cider Co. Hazed orangey gold colour, foamy white head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of apple, fruit, leather, funky. Taste is sweetish, apple, juicy, fleshy, fruity, with leathery funk and bittersweet tannins. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
