Monti Sibillini pink apples<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"LogoPSC\"<\/a>The Monti Sibillini<\/b> pink apple<\/b> is an ancient fruit that has always been grown here, at altitudes of 450 \u2013 900 metres above sea level, and has been known since ancient Roman times.<\/p>\n

The pink apples are quite small in size<\/b>, uneven <\/b>and slightly flattened<\/b>, and are of a greenish colour with lovely nuances ranging from pink to purple and red to orange<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The flesh<\/b> is acidulous<\/b> and sugary<\/b>, the scent<\/b> is intense<\/b> and aromatic<\/b>, and it is picked in the first ten days of October, storing perfectly until April.<\/p>\n

Like most ancient varieties, Monti Sibillini<\/b> apples are quite rustic and play an important role on the market as they are entirely healthy<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"MeleMANIFESTO\"<\/a>On the basis of this important work, in 2000 the Monti Sibillini pink apple Slow Food Presidium<\/b> was established, supported not only by the Comunit\u00e0 Montana dei Monti Sibillini organization but also by the Marche regional agriculture department.<\/p>\n

Growers of the Monti Sibillini pink apple<\/b> have founded an association<\/b> called \u201cROSA<\/b>\u201d, whose mission is to endorse production, harvest, promotion and marketing.<\/p>\n

Precisely because production of Monti Sibillini pink apples is protected by the existence of a Slow Food Presidium, controlled by the activities of the producer association, with a registered trademark<\/b> to allow traceability, it can benefit from a growing market<\/b> both at regional and national level.<\/p>\n

The Sibillini in Rosa<\/b> event, held at Montedinove<\/b>, is an opportunity for study and promotion <\/b>of agricultural businesses in the southwest Marche area, and stands as a benchmark for the Sibillini mountain farmers.<\/p>\n
