Zabargau

Introduced:  1885, Germany

One of the largest of the russets, this apple is bronze patched and streaked over a green background. It’s a dense apple, crunchy and aromatic. The flavor when harvested is intense and sweet-sharp, but mellows in storage, developing a balanced sweetness that has the rich nuttiness we expect from a good russet. It will store well and has found favor with some American cider makers for its aromatic qualities.
