Arlet
History
The Arlet is a modern Golden Delicious style apple developed in Switzerland in 1989. It is a cross between the Golden Delicious and Ida Red.
Description
The Arlet is a sweet, mid-season dessert apple with a pleasant and juicy flavour, and an excellent balance between sweet and sharp. The mild taste accompanies the crisp and attractive rosey-pink coloured outside flush.
Harvest Availability
The Arlet ripens early in September and keeps very well, not surprising since both Golden Delicious and Ida Red are long keepers.
Best uses
The Arlet is great for fresh eating, baking, and is also a good keeper. Many customers even use a box of Arlet for making juice or cider. Keep your box of Arlet cool and it will last for 3 months, or more!
