This offspring of Northern Spy has a fine textured, crisp flesh with an unusual, complex combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The unique taste has hints of slight anise essence, sometimes described as cherry candy, vanilla, or even bourbon.
Fresh apples are best stored in 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.
