Building the cheese

To make the cider the apple pulp has to be pressed. Layers of cloth with apple pulp are built up to form the cheese. This is the Brown Snout apple picked earlier today with Seidr Dai and we are hoping for over 20 gallons from the one tree. The press is a Victorian twin screw press which was used for many years at Lyne Down Farm in Much Marcle, Herefordshire. Back to the pressing!
