cider apple
Pressing variety fruit
A cider apple is a variety of apple cultivated specifically for making cider rather than eating fresh.
These apples tend to be smaller, more tannic, and more acidic than dessert apples, with names like Kingston Black, Dabinett, and Yarlington Mill.
Most would taste unpleasantly sharp or bitter eaten raw, but their intense flavors produce complex ciders.
