Artisanal Cider and Cheese Pairing!

The team of Poverty Hill Orchards and Farnum Hill Ciders join Amy Thompson of Lucy's Whey Cheese to present an evening of artisanal ciders paired with artisanal cheeses. Funky sweet bliss will captivate and tickle the taste buds this evening of locavore fun.

Farnum Hill Ciders is located on Poverty Hill Orchards in Lebanon, New Hamshire. "On Farnum Hill, we stick to the true meaning of the word "cider" an alcoholic beverage fermented from apples, just as "wine" is an alcoholic beverage fermented from grapes. When Prohibition hit the States, apple-growers' sharp need for a new teetotal image cut the normal old word "cider" from its normal old meaning, and pasted it to the sweet brown ephemeral juice of autumn, normally called "apple juice." Farnum Hill Ciders, at 6.5-7.5% alcohol, tend toward the dry, sharp, fruity and bountifully aromatic. We make them to gladden the moment and to freshen the flavors of companionable foods. We are proud of Farnum Hill Ciders, and we 've been authoritatively told that, for now at least, they are the best-made ciders in America." ~ excerpt from www.povertylaneorchards.com

Lucy's Whey has a mission based on showcasing quality American cheeses and supporting the craftsmen and farms behind them. The cheeses they offer are all handmade, of a limited supply and shipped directly to Lucy's Whey, thus ensuring complexity of palette, high quality and freshness. Every artisan cheese presents a distinctive flavor profile and special textural characteristics, reflecting the animal, region and ingenuity of the cheesemaker. Each cheese has personality!
