Ripened in a Maritime Climate
Did you know that apples of the same variety develop an entirely different taste, according to where they are from?
Soil conditions, weather, climate, the sun's intensity – all these factors play a role in determining the flavour and consistency of the apples.
What is so special about apples which have been grown in the North German maritime climate in "Altes Land", compared to southern German or southern European apples?
They have a thin skin due to the low levels of solar radiation. Therefore the apples are more pleasant to bite into and the skin does not always have to be removed before cooking, baking or raw eating.
Furthermore, many people enjoy the balanced sugar/acid ratio. North German apples have more fruit acid, a flavour which many people simply love.
