Gala Apple

The Gala apple, originating from New Zealand in the 1930s, is a cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious. It's a popular variety known for its delightfully sweet flavor and slightly floral aroma. In terms of appearance, Gala apples are relatively small to medium in size and feature a lovely red hue with hints of yellow and green, often with vertical striping.

Gala apples have a crisp texture that makes them a favorite for fresh eating and salads. Scent-wise, they emit a mildly floral and sweet aroma, making them inviting and subtly refreshing. The sweetness in the scent typically hints at the apple's low acidity and high sugar content, which contributes to its overall mild yet distinctly sweet taste profile. This combination of taste and scent makes Gala apples not only a good choice for direct consumption but also for sauces, baking, and juicing, where their inherent sweetness and enticing aroma can be preserved and accentuated.
