Variety description

10 August 2026

APPIOLA is not a single modern breeding variety, but rather a group of local forms historically widespread in various regions of Italy, including Sardinia and the northwestern areas. The variety is linked to the ancient name Appiana and is mentioned in ancient sources.

The fruits are described as small, with a sweet-and-sour taste, and juicy, aromatic flesh. The coloration usually includes a green or yellow ground color with a red blush. The fruits belong to winter varieties with a harvest period at the end of October. They are used both fresh and for culinary purposes.

Since APPIOLA is a group of landrace varieties, the specific agronomic characteristics of the trees depend on the local biotype. The genetic diversity under this name means that differing forms may be represented under this name in different regions.
