Meet Colleen and Talia. A certified 'curd nerd' Colleen loves her cheese and hosting cheese tasting experiences with her company Behind The Rind. Even from a young age, Talia knew there had to be something better than a red delicious out there. Since founding Haykin Family Cider with her husband in 2017, they have been focusing on the stories behind the apples and making single varietal ciders. Pour yourself a glass of cider, prep a cheese plate, and enjoy Colleen and Talia’s adventures in tasting. Contact us at Info@applestofromage.com.
Join Colleen and Talia while they taste local Colorado MouCo Camembert alongside Haykin's Golden Russet
We talk about what the difference is between Camembert and Brie (hint: not much), how a cider can taste like vacation, and crazy apple trees growing from litter.
NOTE: We are so sorry for the delay in releasing new episodes... both Talia and Colleen were pregnant. This episode was recorded in September 2021. We have both since had our babies and promise to get back on it!
