Organic Crimson Gold Apples

Quantity/Pack: 3 Pounds
Seasonality: Jan & Oct - Dec
Origin: USA

This variety of apple is a descendant of the Newtown and Spitzenburg heirloom apples. These apples are grown near a National Forest in Cuyama Valley near Santa Barbara, California. Growing in this remote location provides ideal conditions: warm days and cool nights, producing an optimal sugar/acid balance and a firmness in the apples.

Melissa’s Crimson Gold Apples should have smooth, firm, unbroken surfaces free of bruises and blemishes. Some apples may have a brownish freckled surface on their skin, usually caused by weather, but their flavor is unaffected. To keep apples crisp, store refrigerated, in a plastic bag (to retain moisture).
