Somerset and Normandy, famous for Cheddar and Camembert, are also the spirtual homes of cider. With its fruity, floral, estery notes and carbonation, cider is a versatile pairing for cheese — Ploughman's lunch, anyone? We will talk about the history and styles of cider from the West and East Country, as well as exploring the less appreciated Norman and Asturian traditions, to find classic matches and new harmonies with cheese. This tasting will be held Saturday Lunchtime when the Neal's Yard Dairy Shop and Borough Market will be in full swing. After drinking cider and eating cheese you can wonder round the market and do it all again!
