Carpentin Apple

A small fragrant apple, about the size of Lady apples. The thick skin has cinnamon or yellow-coloured net russeting with a shiny bright red flush.

The flesh is highly juicy and crisp, with a taste that has tones of liquorice or anise.

History Notes

Known in France at least since 1798, and was introduced to North America at about the same time. Has pretty much died out in North America.

Random Quote

‘It is to be regretted that men of science do not interest themselves more than they do on a subject of such vast magnitude as [food]; for I feel confident that the food of a country might be increased at least one-third, if the culinary science was properly developed, instead of its being slighted as it is now.’ — Alexis Soyer (French chef. 4 February 1810 – 5 August 1858)
