The two ciders made from apples grown at Black Diamond Farm (highlighted in Ezra’s interview later in the zine) embody ‘classic bittersweet apple’ characteristics, something so unique to this type of apple variety, and something I long for as winter approaches. English author Adam Wells sums it up eloquently in his October 2020 piece on Yarlington Mill in Cider Review:
“Ciders can be deep, soulful drinks redolent of long, scarf-clad, leafy walks, and with the glint of winter in their amber hues. These are the answer to red wines cut from Rhône valley or Brunello cloth; ciders that offer warmth and richness when most it’s needed. And – as all things to do with cider worth drinking are – they are shaped first and foremost by the apple varieties in their makeup.
This is the time of year when tannin-rich bittersweets really earn their keep. Fuller-bodied, muscular; built for long aging, oak barrels and slow, contemplative sips beside hearty, protein-driven autumnal fodder. The sort of drinks that can stand up to casseroles, stews and spice.”
Pair with pork butt braised in cider with onions and apples or an apple pie with cheddar crust.
Eve’s is an orchard-based cidery producing Traditional Method ciders at the intersection of the Southern Finger Lakes and the Northern Appalachian Plateau. Our best days are spent outside in the sun and rain growing apples on steep hillsides and rolling them down to the cidery.
