Step aside, Honeycrisp. There’s a new apple in town, and it comes right from an orchard in Ontario.
Introducing the Snowflake, a white-speckled apple with rosy-red skin that one of the orchard’s founders says has a complex yet distinctive flavour: crisp, juicy, with an initial sharpness that’s quickly undercut with a sweet tanginess.
But, according to Kirk Kemp, this isn't too long considering the years it takes to consistently grow the apples and negotiate a licence agreement, as well as southern Ontario's cooler and damper conditions. “They let me get down into their research storage unit, where they had like 100 different varieties down there. They were just numbered varieties, so nowhere near commercialization, and I found five apples … that I thought looked nice and tasted good,” Kemp told CTV News Toronto.
“Apples have what they call lenticels and if you look closely, the next time you look at an apple, they have a lot of light little dots on them. It’s almost like your hair follicles on your skin,” Kemp explained. “And these lenticels were distinctively white.”
