Studio Lates

Hosted by Anna Sulan Masing, this episode of Studio Lates featured Tom Oliver of Oliver’s Cider and Perry. To discuss ‘heritage and deliciousness’ - the search for ancient perry trees, the importance of wild fermentation, and capturing a sense of place. 

Tom is a cider and perry maker and farmer in Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire. He grows a huge variety of cider apples and perry pears, producing a wide range of ciders and perries from his own fruit, as well as cider apples and perry pears from a select group of partner farmers and orchardists in the county.

Hosted by Ryan Chetiyawardana, this first episode of Studio Lates brings together leading craft experts Gregorie Marshall (Blackthorn Salt), Maddy Norval (Dornoch Craft Vinegar), and Angela Clutton (food writer, cook, and presenter). Together, they’ll explore how these everyday ingredients are being redefined through artisanal techniques.

The panel will dive into the key differences between mass-produced and craft salt and vinegar, discuss the growing resurgence of vinegar driven by fermentation and health trends, and share their favourite ways to use these ingredients. 

Salt & Vinegar are ingrained into our language about seasoning foods — especially in the UK — but they’re often just regarded as blank ingredients to use from a taste perspective when they are actually powerhouses in flavour.
