Well mate when you live where I do anything like that is bottled or manufactured sheep dip
Stop off in Somerset and visit some of the old farms that still produce it in the barrels and Ill ensure you'll like it, its as different from one to the other as anything else. I used to make it at one time.
My mates family had made it hundreds of years then it ended someware around the late seventies. In 85 we started to get the presses working again, took nearly a year to rebuild and acquire buggered bits of old equipment but we did it. Pressing out those first Hessian cheeses was so rewarding and the first batch tasted awsom. That was Coombes Cider, I fairly sure they are still pressing.
Another well known one is Rich's, but i never rated theirs that much, difficult being a friend of the family; theirs is too green. Oddly enough I don't drink it now
A break in the hay field on a hot day after stacking a few hundred bails; interupted by the farmers wife coming out in the landrover with cheese sandwiches and a flagon's of cider. Oh sweet memories. That my friend, was without doubt the best cider that ever past my lips
