Fifth Crow Farm
Belle de Boskoop Apples (1.5lb bag)
$7
Unit price perBelle de Boskoop is a Dutch heirloom variety that has been grown since 1856 — large, russet-skinned, and intensely aromatic with a firm, juicy flesh and a sharply tart flavor that mellows and sweetens with storage. One of the highest in vitamin C of any apple variety, with over four times the amount of a Granny Smith. Excellent for baking, where it holds its shape beautifully in pies and tarts, and just as rewarding eaten fresh if you like a boldly flavored apple. A true keeper — stores well for months without losing quality.
