Boskoop

The Boskoop, also called the ‘Schone van Boskoop’, is a cooking apple famed for its crisp, tart flesh. It’s perfect for stewing, turning into apple sauce or pie, and pairing with red cabbage. The Boskoop is yellow with a reddish blush on the sunny side. It’s best enjoyed during the winter months.

tips

Store separately

Apples produce ethylene gas, which can speed up the ripening of other fruit and vegetables. So store them separately to prevent unwanted ripening.
