Here’s the translation into American English:
During the first year of an ambitious three-year program, various opinion leaders and ambassadors have explored the versatility of apples in the kitchen. Influencers like Rosa Rullán and Juan Llorca have had the opportunity to taste and experiment with apple varieties such as Kanzi® and yello®, as well as the award-winning Südtiroler Apfel IGP Golden Delicious and Gala, transforming them into the main ingredient of their recipes.
The apple presents itself as a genuine culinary treasure. Its diversity in textures, ranging from a firm crunch to delicate juiciness, and a wide range of flavors—from intense sweetness to refreshing tartness—make it the creative heart of contemporary recipes. Each characteristic, assessable both mechanically and sensorially, enriches the culinary experience.
The innovation in the kitchen is reflected in the proposals from the program’s ambassadors. A standout example is Juan Llorca’s reinterpretation of the classic vichyssoise. In his recipe, Llorca incorporates the Gala Südtiroler Apfel IGP, elevating the experience with an unmistakable sweetness that harmoniously blends with the creaminess of the vichyssoise. The notes of parsnip and vanilla not only complement but enhance the aromatic nuances of the apple, creating a dish that celebrates contrasts.
Llorca’s recipe is a clear reflection of the culinary potential of apples. The use of variations such as Kanzi® and envy™, which add freshness and balanced sweetness, expands the options in cooking. The firmness of the Gala makes it an ideal ingredient for soups and creams, while the acidity of the Kanzi® perfectly matches other textures, creating a vibrant contrast.
The Gala Südtiroler Apfel IGP apple, parsnip, and vanilla vichyssoise is a call to culinary exploration. An invitation for cooking enthusiasts to delve into the diversity of flavors this fruit offers. Additionally, this European project, promoted by the Consorzio Mela Alto Adige along with the producer organizations VOG and VIP, seeks to spread a new apple culture that highlights its quality, flavor, and health benefits.
