Renetta

Modern since the 1800s

«My father used to grow them, and my grandfather before him. Today, my brother and I bring on this tradition of this ever-loved apple. Especially appreciated by health-conscious customers because it’s naturally rich of polyphenols; by gourmets because it’s the perfect baking apple; by food connoisseurs for its surprising taste.».
Mario Penasa, farmer from San Giacomo di Val di Sole

Taste it

The good news is that Renetta apples maintain their precious antioxidants even after cooking. In fact, Renetta apples are the best cooking apples. A must for the original apple cake and traditional apple strudel. A little hint: if you think that baked apples are a bit depressing, just core a Renetta and put a cinnamon stick and lemon zest in its place, sprinkle with sugar, water and white wine. Bake at 200°C for an hour. You will definitely change your mind …».
