Eva

Eva is originally a Swedish variety (from Balsgård). It is a cross between James Grieve and Cortland. In Finland, the fruit ripens in mid-September.

Great care must be taken when picking and handling Eva apples, as the fruit bruises easily; the skin is thin, and the flesh - while crisp - is relatively soft compared to many other varieties. The apple is extremely juicy and has a mild, sweet flavor. Its color ranges from deep reddish-purple to light red, set against a green background.

These apples are best stored at temperatures between +2 and +4°C to maintain their firmness, as they soften relatively quickly at room temperature.
