I don't think you picked the right reineta apple, or you picked a very ripened one.
They are usually very tart. Not as tart as orange or lemons but for some reason a very unpleasant tart (for me and alot of people), that's why they are mostly used for cooking.
I'm pretty sure that the "Reineta" apple is a variety also relatively common in France, we call it "Reinette". It has the benefit of lasting a long time without rotting !
Indeed, I thought so too
I think it is yes to the point that I am not the same person as a person or person in a position to be in the right place for the first thing I kill me

@@jacaboscrafts7729 u good?
Think so too. In the Netherlands they are called the "Goudreinette" and are the de facto standard for the Dutch apple pie as they do not turn into goo after baking while still absorbing the spices you add to it.
If you ever visit the UK, you need to visit Brogdale. 4,000 varieties of fruit of which 2,000 are apples. You might need to plan which varieties you are most interested in. The oldest varieties, perhaps. I have eaten one ancient Roman variety and a few Mediæval ones.
You need to go to the north of portugal and find a casca de carvalho melon! It is the only naturally carbonated fruit in the world
Welcome to Portugal! We have many fruits that you may find interesting. We have many varieties of citrus fruits, also apples, pears and figs, unfortunately most of the local varieties are no longer sold since our entry into the E.U. Also some interesting wild species, a sweeter than usual acorn (Quercus rotundifolia), a small beach-growing berry (Corema album), a Mediterranean variety of Myrica (Myrica faya), and other fruits that are only found in the country side. You sure should come back and find for those.
Wow, interesting to read about those wild species! I never knew there was a Myrica here and it’s the first time I ever hear about Corena album.
Could you maybe recommend any specific locations where one reliably would be able to find those two, as well as the sweet acorn? (I heard just some varieties of the latter are tasty.)
I recently moved to central Portugal, and I’d like to try growing any edible species of fruit that fits the climate. Especially obscure ones.
Anyway, thanks for mentioning those!
the Corema album local name is camarinha, so if you want to look for it(with locals), thats what you have to ask for
I know about apple hangover! I went to an apple orchard tasting event last fall and tasted 98 different varieties (trying to pick a tree for my garden so I had to taste them all). Even taking just 2 bites out of each apple still made me almost sick. Didn’t eat apples for 3 months after. I love all your fruit tasting videos (especially for colder climates) and hope you continue tasting some of the many interesting apple varieties out there :)
When tasting that much it’s best to just spit it out
So which variety/varieties did you like the best? Did you decide which one you wanted for your garden or were you just totally over apples at that point?
I agree - unless you’re in a group of people in the owners orchard and all that spit out chewed apple would be a bit gross 😊
I think it’s the enzymes as well, not just the fiber
My love of apples luckily returned and my favourite apple at the tasting is called ‘Sukkertop fra Vaaelse”. It’s an old Danish variety, (as were most of the apples there) The event was made to help historical varieties survive into the future by getting people interested in them. Many of the apples have unique stories and flavors. But also many of the common and known varieties on the market are popular for a reason. Some are excellent varieties growing in my garden: Aroma and James Grieve. But I would like a Holsteiner Cox and a Kidd’s Orange Red as well 😊
Eight apples a day will bring the doctor back.
😅
I miss varieties of apples. In NH where I grew up there were lots of orchards, one of them we went to as a kid and they would make their own ciders with different apples and it blew my mind how different the ciders were. I go there now 20 years later and they outsourced their cider making and have less variety of fresh apples. It almost breaks my heart actually.
Yeah, I have always associated that soft, mealy texture with rotten apples.
I am not usually bothered by texture, but mealy apples don't do it for me.
Bravo de esmolfe its a unique, amazing tasting apple, for eating fresh (isnt mealy when fresh), not cooking, Yours its clearly not fresh and old, was in seller shelf to much time
Reineta is usually roasted in the oven. Bravo de Esmolfe was used in a vase at the centre of the table due to its pleasant scent.
We use reinetas exclusively for cooking
Seeing these delicious cooking apples made my canner start crying from the other room! Missed out on the apple harvest this fall, and I'm SO missing my home canned apple sauce and pie filling!
i feel like portugal is a very underrated country.
I liked how you ate less than 8 apples so that you would not become ill again.
You need to try the giant apple! It's an oriental apple that's super rare and it's the largest on earth and my friends neighbor in Oregon somehow has a couple trees of it that are over 35 yrs old and once every few yrs they give my friend a bunch of em and they taste absolutely amazing! They taste addictively good!
We have an apple tree growing in a park here with dark red apples that have red flesh. Sour as hell, but very interesting. They have such a deep red, almost purple color that I at first thought they were plums.
lots of pectin in the Renetta, it is grown all over Europe and it makes great applebutter.
Hearing you talk about these makes me think of my grandmothers Tompkins King that grew on the edge of her garden.😄
That Casanova sounds pretty interesting as an apple. I swear, your palate is amazing regarding your ability to detect tiny amounts of flavor.
I mean to be fair, his diet is so limited that it makes sense it is HEAVILY specialized. With so much fruit in his diet and a complete absence of meat he may very well have one of the most discerning pallettes for fruit in the world.
That first bite was CRISP
The renatas are really good as a baking apple, especially when you bake it with cinnamon. that's when they really shine✨
heirloom apples are so good. had some amazing ones in the uk. we dont have this kind of heirloom in the us, even by buying the trees themselves
Heirloom apples in the US are available from certain small growers or through horticultural preservation societies. They can be really hard to find and availability varies by your region, but hopefully you can find something suitable.
There are a couple of American apple preservation projects that have hundreds of varieties. It looks some names to start your search are Tom Brown's Apple Search in Appalachia, the Lost Apple Project in Washington state, and Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project in Colorado. The USDA and some botanical gardens also have preservation orchards, though I'm not sure if they sell young trees to home growers.
@@PhosphorAlchemist fair enough but the us east of the west coast has a much harsher climate and longer distances than the UK, so even ancient strains will likely have been subject to selection for hardiness and suitability to transport or cidermaking and could have lost some of the characteristics of European strains
I drank an entire half gallon of apple juice one time and I thought I was going to die too, and then came the bowel activity. Then the pain continued, and then after a couple hours I felt mostly better. You can actually get arsenic poisoning from too much apple juice. That probably only happens when you regularly drink too much apple juice.
I love me an Ambrosia or Gala apple. It's amazing how many varieties of apples there are out there!
New year, new adventures.
Darn. I was hoping this might end as a cooking video! 😉
I wasn't aware that reineta was for cooking lol, that explains some thing, I've been eating them just in hand. Don't really like eating much of it cause its quite "grainy" to bite into but its interesting to try occasionally
Stefan Sauvageon@ try a tradicional Apple Pie with just one variety ou use two or three varieties, or cook Reineta Apple in the oven about 15 minutes (180C), with cinnamon with or without sugar. I think you're going to like it. Beijos
@@1SakitoArt alright thanks, I think ive mostly had apple pie with green apples before like Granny Smith
Im Portuguese and I often eat the Reineta apple, I usually peel it, cause I don't like its texture. But apple's meat has a big of a acidic flavour, which I really love
Thanks for great review as always ❤
You do know that you can cut small pieces off to test it, and not eat the whole thing. ;)
now you tell me...
stop trying to entice people into doing illegal things
Weird that the Reineta you got wasn’t tart. To me they are *the* Portuguese tart apple. They definitely are kinda mealy and to me have a unique flavor to them. They are pretty much always used for cooking but I’m weird and like eating them out of hand
Bravo de esmolfe tastes watery and fresh when freshly picked. It also crispier, but it rapidly becomes more mealy (and gross imo) once out of the tree. And when I say rapidly, I mean in 2-3 it's already mealy.
It's probably one the reasons why it's not more a popular variety of apple, along with it being easy to get bruised.
We have the Bravo in my region and perhaps you did not try the best example. They are usually very very sweet. Not really used to cook. My grandfather would add them to the wine vat when making his wine if he thought the winevwas coming up a bit bitter.
The reineta is mostly used to cook. Just put some in the oven and they are quite good like that, spices, sugar, wine can be added in different recipies. My mum would bake them and season with cinamon and some times (it does not need it most times) put brown sugar for a healthy dessert
Russet skinned apples have almost no market in the states. Smooth skin glossy brightly colored apples have much better pr built right in.
There are such lovely russet varieties, Ashmeads Kernel is delightful. Looks are not everything, USA!
1:31 the rough brown skin you have around the top there is called russetting.
Hi Im from Portugal 🇵🇹😁
That's odd when I was sick in Croatia one year they told me to have rice and apple as it was supposed to help the stomach. Maybe it cleans everything out.
The Reineta apple looks similar to an old variety we have here in the States called a Russet apple. As the name implies, it also looks like a potato
I’ve heard/read some where that the is a man in upstate New York State, who has an Apple orchard, which always has trees in bloom 365 days of the year, even when there is 3 feet of snow on the ground.
Guess we have portuguese apple trees in Denmark. The last apple you ate is hard on the inside and sour when taken directly from the tree, if you like sour apples, they are a great snack, but mainly used for cooking.
Have you tried the Black Diamond apple?
Reineta is my favorite apple 😊
Nice! It’s surprising how varied apple varieties can be.
looked like some Egremont Russet's at the start... they are my favourites. (just behind the ones priced 1-20E) (edit// oh i guess not)
I'm a big fan of yellow and green varieties of apples!! Not a fan of the red ones. These look amazing! I like boiling down apples in a light syrup with cinnamon and butter. Let it cool and add a little bit of heavy cream. Mix it into sticky rice or whatever. Tasty little dessert cooled down or hot. I've been watching this channel for a long time and really enjoy it! Thank you for sharing your adventures!!
Passion fruit in juice form
Rambutan and lychees
Mangos
Grapes
Apples
My favorites!
should visit some of the islands
You have one of the me best speaking voices on YT.
The Reinata LOOKS like a Russet, my favourite apple that is sometimes available in Canada. However, it must be quite different when eaten. Russets are NOT mealy, have good texture and are a very long keeper, still delish even months after their (usually very late) harvest when the skin looks wrinkly like the face of an apple doll. Do look for Russets when you are back on this side of the Atlantic.
Are you sure the first two apples weren't mealy because they were old? Grocers will stick the oldest produce on the top of the stack and apples can last awhile.
Beautiful work. I want dem apples in my pooch
I LOVE apples when they're in season, but I will never understand why people insist on eating them year round. You can only get the "long shelf life" varieties, and they're so often just mealy. That's why I switch to citrus this time of year. Would love to see some Portuguese oranges or grapefruits!!
Most apples are kept in cool stores to keep them post harvest for sale thru the year - as these apples mature they go floury .
Apples left on the tree to catch a frost or 4 , remain crisp , sweeter , and jucier .
Just beat the birds to them if possible .
So far my favorite apple is the yellow opal. It's sweet, sour & crunchy.
They are one of my top 3 as well. I love Granny Smith. I also liked Honey Crisps a few years ago. Now they don't taste as good.
@Cat Lily for sure. I liked honey crisp too then one day they changed.
So many varieties...
man i can't stand soft or grainy apples. they gotta have that nice crispness.. even cooked apples i need to be a bit toothsome.
There is a huge loss in apple varieties :( in italy we had thousands of varieties .. now just few hundred .
Hey!
hi there
"I Like To Eat Eight Apples And Bananas" but not in one day
Just commenting to appease the almighty algorithm! I hope everyone is doing well and having a great day!
❤️
8 apples made you sick? I on an awful eat about that many for a week or two at a time. When pluots, Clementines, honey mangos, grapes, or apples are in season, I go Hard.
Yhe C with the tail is pronounced as an "S" You see it mostly in French.
Interesting, those aren't really weird to me so I'm guessing its cause France imports a lot of fruit from Portugal
Reineta it's actually a French variety that was brought to Portugal
@@pjpscandeias cool
"Hungary for apples?" 🍎 🍎 🍎
🍎🍏There are around 7,500 registered sorters worldwide, let's test them all and choose a winner.🍏🍎
Bottom line is I'm going to need a better excuse to go to Portugal than just for apple tasting.
Drugs are legal.
@@tiki_trash - So what? I quite enjoy having a clear mind. Drugs are for fools.
You're comPearing the apples?🤪
I hate apples , we only got Apples and Orange Banana in our markets so i hate them. all apples We in Austria got 5 fruits in markets thats it. 😕
Picked some bad ones
Tbh apples just tend to have baby apples with whatever other apple tree is nearby. I feel like naming apple is a waste of time when it comes to small-scale production. Not really relevant to the ones in the vid, just the mind wandering.
Commercial apples are not grown from seed as you will get 5 different apples from the 5 seeds per apple. Commercial apples are grafted. Apple farmer here.
@@sandralouth3103 I have a question if you don't mind. Why were Honey Crisp apples amazing a few years ago but now they are just good?
Apple is the first company in a position where it is expected that it is a company with engine power to get a new version from its fine design of its not available online gaming software or software or service software and software that can help i get a lot to do and it is yes it will help me understand the only one that is a good thing for Christmas orbeez but it will help me get it right and it is yes I can do this because they have to do and they will have to be in a row with them and I wana make a difference to my life as I am not ok but it was the first thing
the renatta looks a lot like a golden russet, an antique apple variety i can get locally (new york state) occasionally. one of my favorite varieties! wonder if they are related. golden russet are crisp and flavorful though.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Russet
