Culinary / Dessert
Calville Blanche d'Hiver is a French dessert or culinary apple recorded since 1600, with pale yellow skin and notably melting, aromatic flesh. It requires protected cultivation in the UK, as it rarely finishes well outdoors, though it excels in lime-free soils. The fruit seasons from January to April and is prized for its delicate flavor and fine texture.
