When you're fortunate enough to supply amazing pastry chefs, you're eager to provide them the best culinary apples available. 'Calville Blanc d'Hiver' is certainly one whose fleshed, high in Vitamin C, holds its shape when baked. The appearance of this apple has a certain "lumpy charm" that's so unique, you'll never mistake it for another variety. We like this apple in the orchard as well - seems to perform well in Adams County.
