The Cider House Rules1. Geography: “if it grows together, it goes together” – cheese and cider

from the same region often will match well.2. Combining similar flavors: funky ciders with washed rind cheeses,

dry/acidic ciders with tangy goat cheese3. Partner opposing flavors: sweet ciders with pungent blue cheese
