Calville Blanc d'Hiver Apple Bareroot
History:Ā Calville Blanc d'Hiver was discoveredĀ in France and first documented in 1598. It spread to other countries and was even grown by Thomas Jefferson in Monticello.
Why We Grow It:Ā Known for its rather misshapen and lumpy appearance and the odd red splotches on its green skin, this apples exterior belies a strong, sweet-sharp flavour that makes it great for fresh eating, cooking, and cider. Some claim it rivals Bramley's Seedling as one of the best cooking apples with the added benefit that, unlike Bramley's, it holds its shape when baked or cooked. It is also boasts a high Vitamin C content.
