Annurca apples (76%), white cane sugar, walnuts, lemons

The annurca apple is a typical apple variety of the Campania region, known for its sweet-sour flavour and vibrant red colour. Its origin dates back to very ancient times: it is believed to have already been cultivated during Roman times, as shown by some frescoes found in the Casa dei Cervi in Herculaneum. Its name derives from 'mala orcula', which means 'apple of the Orc', as it comes from the area of Pozzuoli, considered by the ancient Romans to be the realm of the underworld. In contrast to other apples, the annurca apple does not ripen on the tree, but is picked while still unripe and left to ripen on the ground in apple orchards, thus assuming its characteristic red colour.

  2. Consider the type of cheese, fresh soft cheeses are sweeter, while the more mature or hard cheeses the intensity changes is more savoury and sometimes spicy;
  3. Evaluate the balance to define the right pairing.
