Apples – Russet

Egremont Russet is a classic English russet apple from the Victorian era.  Egremont Russet is popular with discerning apple lovers who appreciate its unique nutty flavour and appearance. This is an apple that dares to be different ! It is a russet-skinned variety with a good balance between sweetness and sharpness. The skin is entirely covered with “russet”, which feels like very fine sandpaper. Delicious sliced and served with cheese. Traditionally described as “nutty”, the flavour is more delicate than most varieties, and quite sweet. Both the flavour and the soft flesh are reminiscent of a firm pear.
