(Μήλα Ντελίσιους Πιλαφά Τριπόλεως, Tripoli Delicious Pilafa apples)
Tripoli Delicious Pilafa Apples are apples of the variety Delicious Pilafa cultivated in areas of the prefecture of Arcadia since the 1920s. The first known grower of these apples was Ilias Andreou Pilafas who brought the seed with him from America and planted it in the garden of his house.
As their name says, these apples are delicious. Their flesh is juicy, white, and has a firm texture. The taste is just slightly acidic and their fragrance is very unusual, similar to that of bananas. Their skin is green-yellow with dark brown spots.
They are harvested gradually by hand after a ripeness check. Tripoli Delicious Pilafa Apples are characterized by their resistance and long shelf life because they preserve their organoleptic characteristics for a longer period than any other similar variety.
These apples are full of vitamins and, therefore, it is advisable to eat them as a healthy snack during the day.
