Cider

11 minutes | Friday, 6 June 2025

The Dales Chef tells us all about the origins of Cider.

We look at Yorkshire's finest export - the wonderful Ampleforth Cider, no longer made by monks , it has a flavour to behold.

Cider, we all know, goes well with pork but have you tried it instead of red win in your Cock Au Vin? Delicious!

Did you know cider bottles were the precursor to Champagne bottles? Yep, we invented them first!
Lots more fun facts too.
