“Cider\u2019s misunderstood, red-headed stepchild\u201d is how John Reynolds of New York\u2019s Blackduck Cidery describes perry, the low-alcohol result of fermenting pear juice.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t always been this way. Napoleon\u2019s preferred tipple, perry has a heritage that stretches back to the Roman Empire. Medieval times saw production coalesce around France, Wales, and England, and the area is still the epicenter of consumption.<\/p>\n

Craft cider has seen a revival in America\u2014it\u2019s time for perry\u2019s star turn. The delicate, sweet drink is well suited for recipes, but don\u2019t stop at poached pears: Reynolds enjoys fresh tripe in hot perry sauce, insisting on using only traditional varieties as they provide \u201ccomplexity and tannins important to the finished dish.\u201d Too adventurous for your taste? Perry\u2019s also magical when paired with the right cheese.<\/p>\n

Traditional Perry<\/h2>\n

Traditional perry\u2014the kind Napoleon enjoyed\u2014is made from bitter pears with tough, speckled skins and may be either sparkling or still. \u201cThink of a semi-dry white wine, but half the alcohol,\u201d says Charles McGonegal of Wisconsin\u2019s \u00c6ppelTreow Winery & Distillery. \u201cFloral nose, distinctly pearish but not fresh Bartlett pear. Maybe lemony. A tiny hint of vinegar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry\u2019s winelike nature makes it dynamite with curds. Brace your senses and match a punchy Trappist-style wedge<\/a> with a tannic traditional, or enjoy the drink\u2019s multifaceted interplay with the nutty, savory notes of a sheepy tomme.<\/p>\n

Modern Perry<\/h2>\n

Fruitier and more floral than its traditional cousin, modern perry is typically created from less acidic Bartlett and Bosc pears (in combination or alone)\u2014the sweeter fruits sold at the supermarket. Producers tend to leave more residual sugar in theses brews to suit present-day palates.<\/p>\n

Since modern perry lacks the complexity of traditional varieties, look to cheeses that are flavorful yet not too strong. Milder blues<\/a> work well, especially those with mushroomy notes, as they play off the drink\u2019s sweetness. Alpine styles are another good match, as perry enhances their salty, roasty characteristics.<\/p>\n

Similar to dessert wine, this super-sweet, high-alcohol perry boasts notes of juicy Bartlett pear, apricot, and spiced apple. Producers are experimenting more in this growing sector\u2014Washington state\u2019s Renaissance Orchards ages its Venetian-Velvet Dessert Perry in bourbon barrels, for one. Look to Gorgonzola styles<\/a> for the right amount of salt and blue bite to meld beautifully with dessert perry; the complex richness of an aged sheep\u2019s milk cheese is also a treat with this chilled tipple.<\/p>\n
