Tentation

Category:

Tentation is an attractive golden yellow apple, often with a good pink blush. The shape is very blocky, sometimes elongated, sometimes almost square. The thin skin has quite a dry, matt touch, but doesn’t impact the eating experience to any extent. The texture of the creamy-yellow flesh is crisp, slightly balsa-like, but with masses of juice and without being hard or crunchy. Sweetness levels are usually excellent and there is a distinct acid balance to offer interest and satisfaction.

Tentation is often compared to Golden Delicious, but, although yellow-skinned, the combination of texture, sweetness and acidity makes it a far superior variety.
