Be sure to click on the "About Cameo" button on the left side of their site to see how they got started and what their goals for this apple were. Having one for lunch right now, and it truly appears to meet those goals: Crunch and flavor . . . Dah!
Every time I go to the store I am surprised that Red Delicious is still (judging by the size of the bins) so popular when it tastes so blah, bitter, and often mealy. I saw a story on the web a few years ago about how Red Delicious has been bred and changed and processed and stored to this point of non-deliciousness (I remember them being better when I was a kid). I guess a good brand name (and that bright red skin) somehow fools people into thinking they're still good, somehow.
Those sound good, I'll have to try and find them in our little grocery store! Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteWhile the other apples are at my grocer's week after week, this variety is here one day, and gone the next! Can someone explain this to me?
