Description

Cox’s Orange Pippin is a renowned English apple cultivar, first grown in the early 19th century. It is known for its rich flavor, which combines sweet and tart notes, often evoking flavors of cherries, melons, and mangoes. The apples are medium to large, with a golden yellow base and a deep red blush, and have a crisp, fine-grained flesh that is aromatic and juicy. They are typically harvested in mid-fall and are best enjoyed fresh, as they do not store well and lose their flavor quickly when kept in cold storage. Cox’s Orange Pippin is also used in cider production and artisanal apple juice, making it a versatile choice for both eating and cooking.
