One very good thing that can be said for this apple is that it tastes basically the same in the off-season no matter where it originates, and I haven't found the NZ apples to be any better than the Washington ones.<br /><br />That being said, I've gotten the best ones from Washington, even here. In WA we don't have many summer apples, as you do in New England, and the fresh-crop Gala is the signal of apple season in the the Northwest. If you've never had a gala fresh off the tree, or at least picked within the last few days, I'd recommend you do a secondary review. Their flavor is completely different from the ones that have been stored for a few weeks, with a complexity and crispness that is almost always missing later. I say almost because I bought some Chelan galas last week here in Asia and they came closer than any I've had in the off season. Not my favourite apple by any measure, but still one I look forward to every year if I'm in the Northwest, a good apple when choices are limited (as they are here), and reasonably dependable worldwide. That has to be worth something!Alice Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322459333477173574noreply@blogger.com
