Enrich meaty winter pasta dishes with Loxtonia Cider

Tucking into richly flavoured, hearty comfort food is what winter is all about especially when the dish is enriched with Loxtonia’s mellow, well-rounded Pale Amber apple cider.

There’s nothing to beat a meaty pasta dish, a family favourite of the Whitfields of Loxtonia who know a thing or two about soulful food having spent over 30 snow-capped winters on their apple farm in the Ceres Valley.

The beer-styled Loxtonia Pale Amber is their cider of choice for pappardelle coated in a rich sausage and sage ragu to ward off the chilliest of days. Its smooth texture, nuances of caramel and polished apple finish meld beautifully with this creamy meat sauce. It tastes better still with a glass of Loxtonia Pale Amber on the side – even beer lovers will enjoy it! Loxtonia Pale Amber deepens the flavour of this family Cider, Sage & Sausage Pappardelle recipe. Get adventurous and make it your own by trying different types of sausages from pork, beef or chicken to plant-based alternatives. Inherent in the name of these ribbon shaped pappardelle, you will want to ‘gobble up’ this delicious, heart-warming dish.

You can taste the true essence of the apple in every naturally fermented Loxtonia cider. Made with 100% freshly pressed, handpicked apples nurtured from orchard to bottle at the family owned Loxtonia Cidery, there is a cider for every taste from dry and crisp to mellow and tangy, and everything in between.

All Loxtonia ciders come in recyclable glass bottles, are vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and free of preservatives and artificial additives. You will find them at leading outlets countrywide.
