Our apple varieties

Zonga (Alkmene x Delcorf) is a late-summer apple. It is harvested at the same time as Discovery, in late August. The variety is triploid, meaning Zonga is neither self-pollinating nor capable of pollinating other apple varieties; therefore, a diploid variety is required as a pollinator to ensure fruit production.

Zonga develops an attractive orange-red blush over a yellow background. It has a fresh flavor with a delicate balance of mild acidity and sweetness. The flesh is firm yet easy to bite into, which enhances its fresh taste.

Apples are best stored at +2–4°C (in the refrigerator) to maintain their firmness and flavor.

Gloster is a true winter apple with excellent storage durability. Of all our apple varieties, Gloster is harvested last, from mid to late October. In some years, snow has even arrived before the Gloster harvest has been fully completed (as in the picture). Gloster develops a red covering color with a green to yellow background.

Gloster has firm and crisp flesh. Its thin skin makes it pleasant to eat. Despite the fruit’s low acidity, the taste is very fresh, which makes the apple well-suited as a snack.

Domestic apples soften quickly at room temperature. Therefore, the fruit is best stored at home in the refrigerator at a temperature of +2/4 °C.
