Taste and Aroma — Celeriac

Apium graveolens L. var. rapaceum (Mill.) Gaud.

Quality characteristics of celeriac determined by essential oil content. Organoleptically assessed as spicy, tart, or sweet, they directly depend on agronomic practices and the maturity stage of the root vegetable.

In the reference 18 varieties crop Celeriac, where this is mentioned in the description.

The specific taste and aroma of celeriac are determined by the concentration of essential oils in the plant tissues. In breeding and expert documentation, this trait is evaluated organoleptically and described as spicy, tart, pungent, or sweet; however, no quantitative scales exist for its measurement.

The intensity of the aroma and taste qualities depends on the vegetation stage and adherence to growing conditions. Consistent irrigation is necessary for developing succulence, and proper planting without burying the growth point prevents excessive lateral root formation. Leaving root vegetables in the soil too long or their transition to the bolting stage makes the flesh coarse, which negatively impacts the taste characteristics.
