The Jonagold is a large apple, striped red over bright yellow. It has firm, crackling, juicy, slightly tart flesh and a superb, rich, full flavor.
It is best stored in a paper bag the refrigerator.
Crisp, not mealy, and very flavorful. One of the better storage apples we've tried - so impressive to have such a tasty, local apple well into April.
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.
