Pilton Pomme Pomme
A naturally sweet keeved cider, blending bittersweet apples with the unique tartness of quince
Pilton Cider Pomme Pomme from Somerset, England, is a delightful vegan and vegetarian keeved cider, expertly crafted using the artisan 'keeving' method. This process involves only whole cider apples and quince, fermented with wild yeasts and bottle-aged, resulting in a naturally sweet and complex drink without added water or sugar. It beautifully balances the bittersweet character of traditional cider apples with the unique tart astringency of quince, offering a refreshing and vibrant flavour profile. Enjoy its crisp apple and pear notes, perfectly complemented by the distinctive quince, making it an ideal pairing for mature and hard cheeses.
