South Tyrolean apples

Varied in taste

Crisp and fresh, pleasantly sweet or slightly acidic – South Tyrol’s apple is on everyone’s lips; in the truest sense of the word. Because, besides wine, the apple is South Tyrol’s best-known quality product and also a real export hit. The classic varieties Golden Delicious, Fuji, Granny Smith, Jonagold and Pink Lady prosper exceedingly well in the southern Eisack valley. And also some old apple varieties such as the white Rosemary apple that exudes such an intensive aroma in the gardens of South Tyrol’s farmers are enjoying a growing popularity.

Recipes with apples enrich the menus of South Tyrol’s restaurants.
