Charcateur & Van Ryn‘s Team Up
Tuesday, 27 July 2010
Van Ryns Distillery near Stellenbosch has extended its brandy and food pairing options to include a new charcuterie platter of artisanal, organically-cured meats made by Steve Jeffery.

Using some recipes passed down in his family over nine generations, Jeffery supplies just a handful of specialty outlets with his hand-made, preservative-free meats that he produces from his own organically-farmed livestock.

He has selected three meats to complement three brandies produced by the distillery, a five-year-old, a ten-year-old and a 15-year-old. They are the superbly matured Viceroy Five Year Old, a delicately balanced combination of fruit and wood; the internationally awarded Van Ryns 10 Year Old Vintage Brandy, with its heady aroma of ripe pears, almonds and tastes of tobacco, malt and coffee; as well as another regular gold medallist abroad, Van Ryns Fine Cask Reserve 15 Year Old potstill, widely appreciated for its honey, citrus fruitiness and creamy palate.

The meats are meant to be enjoyed with all three brandies, with patrons deciding which combination they like best.

Jefferys three meats are a bauernspeck, made from pork belly dry-cured with salt, juniper berries and bay leaves and then smoked over oak; pancetta, also made from pork belly but from which the fat has been mostly removed and then dry-cured with salt and pepper, after which it is pressed to dry and then hung to mature; and bresoala, made from a thick flank of beef, dry-cured in a press with salt and then hung to mature.

Says Van Ryns Gerhard du Toit: "The three brandies provide a delicious counterpoint to the smoky flavours of the three meats and express once again how versatile brandy can be."

The new pairing option, designed for the more savoury-toothed, is available at a cost of R 50.00 a serving. Van Ryns also presents the 15 Year Old potstill, served with a trio of brownie, blondie and honey squares at R 45.00 per person, as well as a brandy, chocolate and coffee combination at R 60.00 a head, featuring the 12, 15 and 20 year-old potstills - all international medalists - with a chocolate to complement each, rounded off with a single-estate Honduran coffee. These offerings are exclusive to the distillery.

The five-star distillery, last year a national winner in the SA Tourism Welcome Awards, is open every day over the summer, including Sundays. For trading and tour times, visitwww.vanryn.co.za.
