A family of local apples
Slow Food describes eight ecotypes grouped into three broad types. Pink or red coloring explains the shared name, but the apples differ in skin and texture; this is not one perfectly uniform cultivar.

Our suggestion: taste different local types side by side, rather than choosing only the most regular fruit. Then try a few slices in a simple apple tart.
