Taste
The crisp, fresh aroma comes from the Elstar, and it owes its pleasant, sweet taste to the Gala.

Storage
Apples stay fresh, crunchy, and aromatic the longest if they are stored in a cool and dark place. This is also the case with the Rubens variety. The fruit compartment in the refrigerator offers the ideal conditions for storing apples. If apples are kept in a bowl with other types of fruit, the ethylene that apples give off can cause them to wilt more quickly. So if you value a long shelf life for other types of fruit and vegetables, give your apples a place for themselves. A fruit box in the cool basement is of course also a good place to store apples.
