Mariage Breton – Virginie Thomas

Virginie Thomas, cider sommelier, offers pairings between the finest Breton ciders and 20 easy, gourmet recipes by Breton crêpe chef Denis Olivard.

For centuries in Brittany, among friends or family, meals of crêpes or galettes have been enjoyed with cider—a timeless Breton pairing that, like any tradition, benefits from a touch of novelty. Virginie has selected the best farm-produced Breton ciders to match with 20 traditional and creative recipes by chef Denis Olivard from La Chaumière de Pomper in Baden.

“I have chosen quality ciders from passionate producers who, in their orchards—true hubs of biodiversity—create subtle flavours. They craft authentic ciders, often certified organic, with natural sparkling from fermentation and sugars derived solely from the apple.”

Between Virginie Thomas’s expertise and Denis Olivard’s creativity, you are in for a delightful tasting experience!

Most of the ciders featured in the book can be found in our online shop.
