Variety description

10 August 2026

In the French and Basque traditions, cider varieties are classified by taste, where "douce" denotes a category of sweet fruits. Official information on the breeding origin, disease resistance, or authorship of a variety with this name is absent from registers.

In a number of heirloom variety lists, "La douce" is described as a juicy, medium-sized apple tree with flattened fruit, yellow skin with a red blush, and tender flesh. This description is of a general nature and refers to local varieties, which often causes confusion with other varieties containing the word "douce" in their name.
