Are you ready to explore some old (new to you!) apple varieties? The following varieties are fresh picked and ready for your table…
Mantet – 1928, Manitoba, Canada. Red washed amber skin with sweet, creamy, flesh with berry undertones. Those who only eat crispy apples will miss out on the best-tasting of all summer apples.
Irish Peach – Early 1800s, Ireland. Delicious early season apple.
Lodi – 1911, New York. Early summer apple with green to yellow skin. Pleasant sweet-tart eating, but perishable.
Lowland Raspberry – Before 1870, Lithuania. Heirloom red striped fruit with cream colored flesh. Flesh is crisp, juicy, creamy and richly flavored with berry notes.
Melba – Late 1800s, Canada. Good quality summer apple. Tender, red or red splashed. Sweet-tart.
Norland – 1970s, Canada. Red or red striped. Sweet-tart. Keeps decently for a summer apple.
Parkland – 1970s, Canada. Crisp and juicy summer apple. Pink to red skin with whitish background. Pleasant sweet-tart flavor.
Red Astrachan – 1700s, Russia. Popularized in Sweden. Tart, tender and aromatic. All purpose.
