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.
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.
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.
