Highfield Preserves Bramley Apple & Cider Chutney

Apple, Cider and a Good Piece of Cheddar

Some flavours just belong together.

Highfield Preserves Bramley Apple & Cider Chutney is fruity, tangy and gently sweet, with Bramley apples providing plenty of that lovely fresh acidity and cider adding another layer of orchard fruitiness.

Bramleys are particularly good chutney apples because they’re naturally tart, so even once they’re cooked with sugar, you still get plenty of freshness rather than something overly sweet.

And put that alongside a good piece of British cheese and it all starts to make perfect sense.

What Cheese Goes with Apple & Cider Chutney?

• Mature Cheddar – This is where I’d start. A good mature Cheddar with apple chutney is a classic combination, and the addition of cider makes it even more at home alongside the cheese. Add some crusty bread and I’d happily call that lunch.
• Soft cheese – Tunworth or West Country Brie work beautifully. The fresh apple acidity is particularly good against a rich, creamy cheese.
• Wensleydale PGI – Yorkshire Wensleydale PGI and apple is another very easy combination. Fresh, crumbly cheese with fruity chutney — preferably with some good bread alongside.

And apple chutney isn’t going to complain if there isn’t any cheese around. It’s brilliant with pork pies, cold meats and roast pork sandwiches too.

Jen’s note: Cider was my drink of choice at university, although I probably wasn’t giving much thought to its pairing potential with cheese at the time! These days I’m rather more interested in what it does alongside a good Cheddar — and apple, cider and Cheddar is a combination that makes an awful lot of sense.
