“Smeralda” is a new sweet-tart, green apple developed in the northern region of Italy, close to Venice. The apple name references the Costa Smeralda area on the Italian island of Sardinia, which translates to “Emerald Coast” - so think of the Smeralda apple as the “Emerald Apple”! This bright and boisterous flavour is very fun and refreshing!
