Ambrosia™: the sweet details
The Ambrosia™ is a chance seedling from Canada, which was found of all places in a plantation with
Red Delicious and
Golden Delicious apples. From such a lot of "Delicious" beginnings only an outstanding fruit can emerge! This was certainly the thinking of Wilfried and Sally Mennel, who began to breed the variety and brought a new apple hit onto the market.
It is not only children, who love its very sweet flavour, which reminds you of honey and nectar; adults also enjoy biting into the fiery red cheeks.
Ambrosia™ does not produce quantity, but it is valued for its aromas, both in the apple and the juice, in
tarts and
spicy dishes.
