Egremont Russet is a classic English russet apple from the Victorian era. It remains popular with discerning apple lovers who appreciate its unique flavour and apearance.
Egremont Russet is a medium-sized apple. The flesh seems quite dry and gets drier with keeping – it is moist rather than juicy. Traditionally described as “nutty”, the flavour is more delicate than most varieties, and quite sweet. Both the flavour and the soft flesh are reminiscent of a firm pear. Yet Egremont Russet is surprisingly versatile, working well in savoury salads for example, and a popular partner for cheese.
Like many russets, Egremont Russet is a good apple for juicing. The apples are not particularly juicy, so you need plenty of them – but the resulting juice is rich, thick, and very sweet.
