Priska Weger, apple farmer from Schenna/Scena, about the Morgenduft
This variety, beautifully named “Morgenduft” (morning aroma), can aptly be called an apple "from grandmother's time." It’s still very popular as a classic cooking apple and many people always use it for cakes and compotes. Another great characteristic is its excellent shelf life.
