If you've got a favourite type of apple it might have taken you a while to pick out because of all the different varieties around today. That decision is about to get a little harder with the introduction of a new variety called the 'Jazz' apple. Ken Bell is the Managing Director of Top Qual in Tasmania, he says that this new variety of apple will be good for the consumer."Well the Jazz apple is a cross between a Gala and a Braeburn with the Gala being the strong parent, so it's got the colour of a Gala but the shape of a Braeburn.""It's keeping qualities will be exceptional, it will have long shelf life, it's a good storage apple so the consumer will be able to put it in the bowl at home and it will last for a long time.""It's been trialed for many years and it's taking the world by storm as a very popular apple. In Australia, Montague Fresh have successfully acquired the licence from New Zealand and we (Top Qual) have a sub-licence to Montague for Tasmania," said Mr Bell.The new variety of apple is only in initial stages of growing and won't be available until early next year.

The Braeburn is amazing as it is so crunchy, I hope this 'jazz' apple is as crunchy AND lasts longer... The perfect apple in my eyes!!
