Bravo de Esmolfe Apple (PDO) is an apple with unique characteristics, extremely aromatic and juicy, sweet and at the same time acidic. It has an oblong-conical shape, white pulp and its whitish skin and sometimes has pink spots. This regional variety, known since the 19th century. XVIII, is originally from the village of Esmolfe (Penalva do Castelo, Portugal) and was obtained from a tree planted from a seed. As its fruits are very popular, grafts were obtained that spread this variety to several fruit production areas, especially in the Beira Alta region and in part of Cova da Beira.
