Pitmaston Pineapple. Winter Banana. Maiden’s Blush. Seek No Further.
What do these curious names have in common?
They’re apples!
Beyond Honeycrisp: An Heirloom Apple Tasting is an opportunity to explore the remarkable diversity of locally grown heirloom apples.
Guests will taste and compare a selection of unusual heirloom varieties — apples you’re unlikely to encounter on a typical supermarket shelf. From sweet and aromatic to tart, spicy, crisp, and complex, the tasting will offer an opportunity to discover just how different one apple can be from another.
Along the way, we’ll explore some of the stories, history, flavors, and traditional uses behind these varieties and the role heirloom fruit plays in our local and regional food system.
Cheese will also be available to enjoy during the tasting.
Some of the heirloom varieties that may be represented include Pitmaston Pineapple, Reine des Reinettes, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Seek No Further, Maiden’s Blush, Winter Banana, Blue Pearmain, and Esopus Spitzenburg.
The exact selection will depend on this year’s harvest and availability.
