Hubbardston Nonesuch Apples
Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
Hubbardston Nonesuch apples grow on trees that bear fruit early and heavily. They are on the large size with some ribbing, with orange-red skin and gold accents. The skin may have lenticels or russeting. The creamy white flesh is hard and crisp; its flavor is rich and spicy, with complex nutty notes, yet mild. The longer they age, the sweeter and less complex these apples get. The Hubbardston Nonesuch pairs well with aged cheddar cheeses, which complement their sweetness. The flesh tends not to brown very quickly when exposed to air.

Hubbardston Nonesuch apples are available in the fall.
