The Spatlauber is an old variety of rare apple cultivated in Switzerland since around 1750 and able to be stored for extended periods of time without shrivelling. These days, it is known for its anti-aging stem cells use in cosmetics.

ReplyDeleteAt first look, I thought it's a star apple!
ReplyDeleteWe have been picking our apples today. There is only one problem - the take too long to peel. Old cultivars should be protected - fine stamp.
