THE TRUE FLAVOUR OF SOUTH TYROL - SÜDTIROL
Marlene
®
apples come from South Tyrol – Südtirol on the sunny side of the Alps. The climatic conditions in the largest and most concentrated apple-growing district in Europe are perfect for developing the unique and delicious flavour of Marlene
®
apples. The interaction between the Alpine climate and the Mediterranean sun is key to the incredible quality of these apples: a winning combination unique to South Tyrol – Südtirol.
RICH VARIETY
Marlene
®
has always stood out for its rich array of varieties which range from the juicy Gala to the sweet Fuji and through to the slightly tart Granny Smith to cater for all tastes! The seven standard Marlene
®
varieties carry the EU “South Tyrolean Apple PGI” (Protected Geographical Indication) label, proof that they originate from South Tyrol - Südtirol. There are also some new additions to the Marlene
®
range: the yello
®
, SweeTango™, RedPop
®
and Giga
®
apples, which enrich the vast family of products and are “presented by Marlene
®
”.
