Medaille d’or Apples

Medaille d’or are cider apples.

They have orangish golden skin, covered with russetting; the russetting is a darker brown on the side that got the sun.

Inside, they have tender, yellow flesh, high in tannins, and with a sweet but astringent taste.

The juice makes a cider that has a strong, fruity flavor and a high alcohol content.

The tree blooms for about 20 days in the spring.

The apples grow in clusters, ripening in November in England.

The apple received a gold medal from the “Societé Centrale D’Horticulture de Département de la Seine Inferieure” in 1873.

It was introduced into England in 1884 by the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club.
