Tracce di Foliage - Apple tasting: i gusti autentici delle mele

The third edition of the review Tracks of Foliage is dedicated to the senses of autumn. After the colors and flavors, the palette of autumn leaves connects to the clear sensations we can experience in nature.

The second appointment will be on Sunday, October 19 at 3:30 PM with Alice Perego from Naturalpina Dolomiti, who will highlight a beloved fruit, the apple, with a proposal for apple tasting in her orchard.

This fruit, which is yet to be discovered, contains many different tones: moving from the skin to the flesh, it is exciting to identify the aromatic notes, the texture, and the structure of the different varieties, with a sensory complexity to be rediscovered; and it is curious how, unlike wine, this is still little known.

Naturalpina cultivates 9 varieties of apples, selected after a long research that lasted months: 6 rare ancient cultivars that are difficult to find on the market and 3 “resistant” apples, which are suitable for organic cultivation, very different from each other. The visit includes a walk in the orchard to discover cultural and historical notes, sharing interesting curiosities about this fruit.

Through a special path, it will be possible to taste the ripe varieties and juices to learn to distinguish their different and curious flavors, as well as discover some interesting recipes and the secrets of pairing the right apple with culinary preparations.
