Heirloom Apple Varieties
Brettacher
Apple of German origin from the early 1900s; a chance seedling with Lebel thought to be parent. Lebel is a French culinary green apple. Brettacher is also regarded for culinary purposes for its tart flavor with a hint of spice. Also used for cider and juicing. In studies, the Brettacher was found to be high in ascorbic acid and polyphenolics, making it a great source of antioxidants via simply drinking its delicious juice. We harvest in mid-September.
