An assertively sweet and crisp apple with floral and honey flavors and a satisfyingly crunchy flesh. This Gala has a refreshing astringent quality that makes for an outstanding fresh eating experience.
Store apples in their plastic bag in the refrigerator.
These were somewhat disappointing in taste and quality. I will stick with the Ambrosia (what a wonderful apple) and other varieties in the future.
We are really enjoying the Galarina apples. They are terrific apples for just eating raw: crisp, juicy and sweet, with just a little tart.
Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
