Daliclass apple

/ 4 see reviews

Daliclass is modern apple, developed in France, and closely related to Elstar.  As might be expected the flavour is excellent, with more acidity than is usually found in Elstar.

The cream-coloured flesh is crisp, light rather than dense, coarse-grained, and very juicy.

The apples are a good size, with the red / orange flush over a yellow background which is currently considered the best colour for supermarket apples.

      Sweet, crisp and juicy and the skin is easy to eat especially if cut into segments. That is where the vitamins are found and should not be thrown away.

      Hint of a russet flavour, very juicy and sweet. Skin is tough, but then perhaps it won't bruise so easily.

      Wonderful fruity flavour, very juicy. Wow!

      Lovely sweet/sharp taste for a British Apple but the skin is unpalatable tough. For a pleasant eating experience peeling is required.
