Artistraw Cider & Neal’s Yard Creamery

In a match made in artisan heaven, Neal’s Yard Creamery’s Charlie Westhead pairs his fresh, mould-ripened and mouthwatering cheeses with Artistraw’s wild fermented natural cider.

This is a hyper-local tasting from highly passionate people involved in every single part of the process. For Neal’s Yard Creamery, this is more than just working with local suppliers, it’s being able to practically name the cows the milk comes from. For Artistraw (who you may have seen on BBC Countryfile), it’s hand-picking the – local, organic, biodiverse – fruit for the cider, designing the label and even sticking it on with a plastic-free glue they’ve invented themselves.

This is the best of the Black Mountains, the finest of the Welsh Marches and a truly authentic Hay-on-Wye experience.
