This variety gets relatively small, but all the more aromatic fruits. Its skin is marbled in golden yellow and orange-red. It feels smooth and slightly waxy. The fruits are tall and medium-sized.
Origin
Gala is a cross between Kidd’s Orange and Golden Delicious found in New Zealand in 1931. From 1960 Gala was marketed worldwide. Plant variety protection has existed for the better colored Gala Royal mutant since 1981.
Season
The Gala Royal is ready to be enjoyed from the end of September to March.
Taste
The yellow flesh is firm and moderately juicy, but very sweet and aromatic and slightly sour.
Use
Gala is a popular table apple, but can also be used in many ways as a kitchen apple.
Storage
Gala Royal ripens from the end of September to the beginning of October, and the apple variety can be stored until the end of December. With optimal cooling conditions, this apple variety can even be enjoyed well into March. Like all other apple varieties, Gala Royal should not be stored together with other fruits. The plant hormone ethylene causes other fruits to wilt faster. This can be avoided by only storing apples with other apples. The storage room should be cool; the refrigerator offers very good conditions for longer storage.
