Our apple varieties

Rosette is a sport of Discovery. It differs from Discovery due to its characteristic deep red / pink flesh. The picking time is roughly the same as for Discovery - late August.

The apple has a slightly more tart flavor, a common trait in mutations with redder flesh. Nevertheless, Rosette is just as crisp as Discovery and offers a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. It is also excellent for cooking and juicing, as the flesh turns products like applesauce or juice completely pink.

Domestic apples are best stored in the refrigerator +2/4°C, as the fruit softens relatively quickly at room temperature.

Santana ripens in late September or early October. The variety develops a red or dark red blush. Immediately after harvest, the ground color may be slightly greenish, but it turns yellow as the fruit ripens.

The flesh is firm and crisp. Early in the season, the variety is more tart, but the flavor becomes sweeter as it ripens. Despite this, it retains a fresh, aromatic flavor, and the flesh remains firm.

The fruits should ideally be stored in the refrigerator at +2–4°C, although the flavor is more pronounced if the apple has been kept at room temperature for a few hours.

Wilton’s Star (Red Jonaprince Select) turns red to dark red when ripe. The apple has white to golden-yellow flesh that is relatively firm.

The flavor is aromatic with a fine balance of sweetness and just the right acidity. The taste is at its best after a day at room temperature and has a character that is slightly reminiscent of pear. Wilton’s Star is a true dessert apple that can be eaten fresh, used in salads, pies, or other baked goods.

Wilton’s Star is one of our best-keeping varieties and can even be stored until August under proper storage conditions. Apples are best stored in the refrigerator at +2/4 °C.
