Granny Smith: The perfect acidity for salty and refreshing dishes

Granny Smith apple is one of the most recognized varieties worldwide, known for its intense green color and its characteristic flavor, fresh and acid. This unique personality makes it the ideal candidate for salty dishes, surprising combinations and refreshing drinks.

Granny Smith stands out for:

  • Sour and refreshing taste, which provides a vibrant contrast in salty dishes.
  • A firm and crispy pulp that maintains its texture even after being cooked.
  • Fresh and intense aromas that evoke herbaceous and citrus notes.

These characteristics make it especially versatile in the kitchen and very appreciated by consumers looking for a different taste experience.

Gastronomic ideas with Granny Smith

Its natural acidity opens up a range of culinary possibilities:

  • Meat sauces: Granny Smith is perfect for making reductions and bittersweet sauces that pair with duck, pork or chicken.
  • Salads with blue cheese: the contrast between the creaminess of the cheese and the fresh acidity of the apple creates an irresistible combination.
  • Ceviches and seafood dishes: it brings freshness and balance to dishes with raw fish, enhancing citrus flavors.
  • Drinks with acid touches: in cocktails, Granny Smith can be used to give an innovative, fresh and sophisticated touch to any special occasion.

With its characteristic acidity and versatility, Granny Smith is not only a delicious and healthy option for direct consumption, but also becomes a gastronomic ally capable of elevating salty dishes, creative recipes and innovative drinks.
