A privileged land for cultivation
What makes the Lleida apple special?
In the lands of Lleida, the climate is the perfect ally. Cold winters and hot summers allow the apple to ripen slowly, concentrating natural sugars and intense aromas. This combination results in a fruit of high taste quality, with a firm skin and juicy pulp that both consumers and professionals in the sector love.
👉 The most common varieties are Golden, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith and Pink Lady, each with its own unique character:
🍯 Golden Delicious: sweet, balanced and versatile.
❤️ Gala: ideal for eating raw, with a honeyed touch.
🍎 Fuji: very sweet and crunchy.
💚 Granny Smith: acidic and refreshing.
🌸 Pink Lady: Fragrant and soft, very appreciated in restaurants.
Only the best arrive at Mercabarna
