COLFAX, CA — The Crispin Cider Company announces a uniquely fulfilling and mouth-watering partnership between the American hard cider company and the Cochon Heritage Breed Pig Culinary Tour. Crispin will be the Official Hard Cider of the Cochon US Tour.
“Farm To Table. Orchard To Bottle. We believe that Crispin and the Cochon US Tour both illustrate authentic American flavors,” says Joe Heron, Crispin CEO & President. “We like to think we make American ciders with character, personality and a sense of adventure — naturally fermented fresh-pressed unpasteurized American apple-juice, using fruit picked on American farms. The combination of pork and cider is an age-old tradition. Combining Crispin with the expert grilling of rare heritage breed pigs, farmed on American family farms, is a unique, beautiful culinary adventure”.
Now in its fifth year, Cochon 555 has made a huge name for itself in the national culinary scene. In events across the US, five chefs make amazing dishes using five heritage breed pigs, snout to tail. It is an exemplary demonstration of culinary skill.
“The Cochon US Tour is a journey that food lovers want to join, a simple approach
to preserving our American heritage, real flavor, honest traditions with real tangible support for responsible American family farmers,” says Brady Lowe, Founder of Cochon US Tour. “Our epicurean guests at every Cochon event enjoy a direct link to the sources, a chance to learn from food experts including top chefs, cider-makers, distillers, brewers, wine-makers, farmers, and culinary thought-leaders.”
